Aran Wii Mini

[thedrew]

After a month of recreating the Aran Wii to fit a 4.3" IPS screen instead of a 5", the Aran Wii Mini is born! This design is heavily influenced off of @Wesk 's original Aran Wii design in which he was kind enough to give me the permission to recreate since the design is not open source yet. Everything was 3D designed from scratch from the ground up to fit my specific internals since everything had to shrink in size.

Features:

- 4.3" 800x480 IPS Screen
- VGA Patches (Thanks @Aurelio !)
- RVL-PMS
- Stereo Speakers using Pam8803 (my custom amp stopped working last minute)
- Switch Sticks
- GC+ 1.0
- 3D printed case and buttons
- 3.7V 6700mah batteries for about 2 hours battery life
- Type C charging port

Probably not the cleanest internals you've seen...

Thank you for everyone's help with this project. This is my first 3D printed portable and there are a few things I'm not too proud of like having to glue in the tacts since I didn't leave enough space for mounts, using hot glue in general, and having to rip out my custom audio amp due to inconsistent issues.Other than that, I think it came out pretty decent!

Awesome!! The internals are certainly not bad for a first build either. Can't wait to see the next!

jesus christ you recreated the entire portable and assembled it before I even finished my assembly of the original AYY LMAO

Solid work! Looks awesome!

 

[Wesk]

Awesome work thedrew! I'm surprised there was even a little room to spare. I'd love to see a picture of it up against a switch or something, just to get an idea on scale.

 

[thedrew]

Thank you guys! Well I don't have a switch but maybe this will do?

Final dimensions are roughly 160mm x 75mm x 28mm

Thats so slick! Great build! I'd love to build one of these one day.

Made a lil video of the portable. The fan sounds louder than it really is. I think the mic from the camera emphasizes it.

It's so clean.. and that color... I need it

@Gman

Thank you, what a compliment! I believe it's the same light blue color from your dreamcast portable. I think I'd like to try a sparkly type filament for V2

wow I wish it was open source so I could make one
