Mini SNES – Raspberry Pi 2/3 Case #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Mini SNES - Raspberry Pi

AndrewBougie shares:

It’s a mini SNES that can do anything the Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 is able to do! Skip to the instructions below if you don’t care about the back story.

I have two sons that are getting old enough to take an interest in video games. I had my wife’s old SNES in storage so we pulled that out late last year. The boys loved it, but having wires everywhere in true 90’s fashion wasn’t going to cut it. I made this Mini SNES to run Recalbox with a bluetooth controller so my boys and I can enjoy the games I loved as a kid and not have to deal with the inconvenience of being tethered. It also gives you the advantage of having modern audio and video connections so it will work with most current AV systems.

Credit for the base full-size SNES design goes to RSants over on GrabCAD:

If you print this, be sure to share your make here on Thingiverse and tag @andrewbougie on Twitter and Instagram. I love to see what others do with my models!

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!


Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

Join us every Wednesday night at 8pm ET for Ask an Engineer!

Join over 38,000+ makers on Adafruit’s Discord channels and be part of the community! http://adafru.it/discord

  1. 3D printing adds a lot to electronics. A couple of years ago I worked in electronics department and one of our most difficult tasks was to make a case. Now it is much easier as I can do this even at home.
