Pseudonymous maker “Keigen7” is beginning 2024 with a shiny new cyberdeck, utilizing a custom-designed 3D-printed case to accommodate a Raspberry Pi 4 Mannequin B single-board laptop (SBC), an ultrawide show, and a mechanical keyboard.
“Easy cyberdeck construct. Constructed with Raspberry Pi 4 [Model] B 4GB and a generic tall show I flipped to the aspect,” Keigen7 writes of the modern potable. “Makes use of a laptop computer energy financial institution with the battery degree portion lower out. 4 USB 3 ports within the entrance, nevertheless that is all of the I/O [Input/Output] I placed on this. Full with rats nest of wires inside and bam first construct.”

The cyberdeck’s framework is a {custom} 3D-printed design, inbuilt two halves then friction-welded collectively to accommodate the mattress dimension of the obtainable printer. The highest of the chassis homes a 7.9″ capacitive touchscreen providing a 1280×400 decision from a full-color IPS panel and a four-port USB 3.0 hub, linked to one of many Raspberry Pi 4’s USB 3.0 ports for ease of peripheral connectivity. A low-cost 25Ah USB energy financial institution to maintain every little thing operating on-the-go, with a cut-out within the case making the cost show simply seen.
The case additionally homes an off-the-shelf HK Gaming GK61 mechanical keyboard, linked to a different USB port on the Raspberry Pi, whereas inside — together with the self-admitted “rats nest of wires” — is the Raspberry Pi itself, with GeeekPi lively cooler. A further cooling fan within the case ensures nothing’s going to overheat even below heavy load, whereas a small USB-powered speaker offers audio capabilities.

“May undoubtedly put far more on this however I have not executed something to it shortly, will in all probability make a second model someday sooner or later,” Keigen7 writes, whereas additionally promising 3D print information to observe for many who wish to construct their very own. “Thingiverse wont let me submit inside 24 hours [of registering], so I am going to get to it after I can.”
Extra info on the construct, together with hyperlinks to all of the off-the-shelf elements, is obtainable on Keigen7’s Reddit submit.
