Worklog Aurelio's unnamed Wii Portable

[Gman]

Yeah mine's nothing fancy either but it's been very reliable. I got a new one at the beginning of the summer and haven't had a single print fail yet. I printed mine at .3mm layer height, doesn't seem worth it to go smaller for a basic design, just adds a lot of print time.

Oh yeah but my extruder has a nozzle diameter of only 0.3mm, so I can't do prints with layers higher than 0.2mm

Ok that makes sense.

Sneak peek!! Basically I just assembled the screen and tested the hinges, tomorrow I will put everything else inside and it will be hopefully done!

 

[Aurelio]

I've wired almost all the buttons (still need to solder the wires coming from the triggers).

I wonder what that mysterious chip in the center is ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I still need to clean up my wiring, but I'm getting there

 

[ShockSlayer]

Good lord that is an early version of postLoader

 

[Aurelio]

Yeah it's like one month old and I still have to connect the controller so I can't update

 

[ShockSlayer]

I dunno, I think it's over a month, 'cause it's been forever since I separated out the _PM part

Hmmm I've no idea actually

The Piizza (thanks @ShockSlayer) is done! Somehow the BT is not working anymore, probably some loose wire, but for now I'll stick with GC games since they are the ones I'm most interested in.


Few specs:
-3D printed case
-Clamshell design with no wire exposed
-Full GC button layout
-3DS sliders
-Custom GC controller board allowing me to have full scale ranges for the 3DS sliders
-Almost 4 hours of play time
-7" screen with component video input
-Integrated charging circuit with single charging port for both charging and powering the device while charging
-LEDs bar for state of charge indication (also the first one blinks when the charge level is low)
-Custom audio amplifier board with headphone support (correctly amplified) and with digital volume control

This is so cool. How does the hinge work exactly, like does it have friction to be able to support any angle?

Not quite, they have a specific hold position, just like the Nintendo DS/3DS, but they are strong enough to hold the screen also in a laptop way so that it can be used with a wiimote easily (when I'll fix the bluetooth wires), since it also has two IR LEDs above the screen

Wow, words can't begin to describe how awesome that is!

Aurelio has been making dreams come true since 2016.

 

[Aurelio]

Can't deny that I thought about that design while working on this

 

[ShockSlayer]

What can I say? I love the Piizza.

Do you want a slice?
