Fully functional micro arcade machine using a Raspberry Pi model B or B+.

I always wanted a tiny arcade machine for my desk, I decided to build it as small as possible. It may look simple from the outside but a lot of engineering went into building it. After months of development and 8 printed prototypes later, its finally ready. I decided to post the build steps here and links to the 3D printed parts so anyone can build one for themselves.

3D printed parts are available in more colors, check the link below.

Painting instructions are optional, you can paint it anyway you want.

enjoy :)
