Building a CRT-Style Portable Raspberry Pi Enclosure

[@ShankMods]

Awesome video. This project came out beautifully. Love the aesthetic on this one. For the body, I'd recommend giving resin printing from PCBWay (or other places like JLCPCB) a go. I've been really impressed with the quality and price point. I use FDM for prototyping, but I've switched over to ordering resin prints for my final builds. It saves me so much effort on finishing, and the results are great. This build came out amazing, but this may save you a ton of time and pain for future builds 😀 Anyway, keep up the great videos. Looking forward to more!

[@salimbenbouz]

Hey Thanks a lot! Agreed, I will try that next time 100%. It's cool to finish projects by hand but it gets old and tedious very quickly 😂

[@NyneIX9]

The man even has proper closed captions. Not that automated crap. Lol

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Do the threaded inserts work with resin? Because he used them a lot in this project.

[@AlainPilon]

@@EvenTheDogAgreesi doubt, based on my work with epoxy. You have to drill undersize then tap them. But I don’t know how easy it would be to perform at that small scale.

[@AMMARTRAVELS]

Bro you earned the respect of an electronics engineer, thats true RnD

[@mateusdias7681]

OMG! I've never felt so good watching a DIY video. This is really beautiful! Literally and figuratively speaking! Thanks for this piece of art!

[@salimbenbouz]

Wow, thanks for watching!

[@rubenp3461]

Man this is the perfect DIY video. The photography, the quality and quantity of point of view, good timing of shots, music. Really enjoyable. The same for the product, the result looks amazing ! 🥹

[@salimbenbouz]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DonCarlione973]

Same!!

[@wamellow]

wtf how can such a relative small youtuber have such good quality

[@truthwillout1980]

Because how good you are at something has absolutely nothing to do with how many subscribers you have.

[@MG-Makes]

Salim this is seriously impressive on all levels. The build quality, electrical engineering and design, the sound scape, the editing, everything! Blown away and inspired man keep it up! 11/10

[@salimbenbouz]

Thank you! I appreciate it

[@Lukaz1989]

I'm incredibly impressed by your videos and the cool things you build! If you keep this up I foresee a bright future for you on KZbin :P And please do, because I wanna see more projects!

[@salimbenbouz]

Thanks! Not going anywhere :) just getting started

I think this is one of those channels that aren't huge YET but one can tell they'll eventually will.

[@m97120]

8:02 "It's not a big dild..."😮 Jokes aside, this looks absolutely incredible! Really nice work! I'm in awe and I want to build one.

[@Brendan945]

I love your aesthetics. You really go the extra little bit to make things look like a product you can buy and I love that.

[@rahhimramly5530]

"Salim said: is it perfect? no!" it is perfect for me!!! you should sell every of your project!!

[@salimbenbouz]

😂 ... well up close I can see all the flaws and mistakes I made

[@MasterThief117]

I love everything about this. I can't wait to see what else you design and build and share with all of us!

[@AdamHougham]

I saw this on my Instructables feed and headed straight over. I love the concept and the execution was great. Also - some awesome video skills!

[@CaetanoSilva3D]

Dude, you are super talented! This is amazing, I never thought it was possible to create such professional looking products with diy.

[@terribleart6269]

NO?! It's not perfect? Are you kidding? It's GLORIOUS! Your level of engineering is incredible and I can't get enough of it! All I could think of when I saw this little masterpiece is it's something Ripley would have used on Aliens as a travel computer! Weyland Tech certified! Amazing work! Thank you for being inspiring!

[@addo9697]

wow man, i just watched your 3d knob video, and i thought "he surely has at least has 1 mil subs if not more and lots of vids this video quality and editing is exceptional" only to to see 3 vids and only 28k subs. man you are the definition of underrated. i loved both videos now going to watch the third. keep up this beautiful work 👍👍🧠

[@max--park]

That's amazing! I'm glad KZbin recommended your channel, your videos are not too long but get through all the details 👌 I really like the look of the case and with the pull handles it looks like old Sony Trinitron video monitors

[@SteveBrodkin]

Looking forward to more great content from you. Love everything about both of your videos. Your format is seriously top notch. I would definitely watch more in depth videos if you made them though. Inspiring me to learn about PCB design.

[@salimbenbouz]

Thanks! I’m still experimenting to find a good balanced format. More to come!

[@blakkkk_]

Very reminiscent of the work of @limoneworkshop. You have a similar eye for design and internal bracing that makes all of Limone's projects so wonderful. This is an enclosure to be proud of.

[@TheAnoniemo]

You might want to consider printing parts in a non-matte filament if you are going to paint them anyways. Matte filament tends to have less strong layer adhesion than non-matte types from what I saw in a CNC Kitchen video. Printing at higher temperatures also helps with making stronger parts. E.g. 230C for PLA

[@salimbenbouz]

Thanks for the tip!

Amazing job! Looks spectacular

[@cadeellsworth2139]

Again, a great, well-structured video about an awesome project! Subscribed!

[@c0mputer]

Another great video. Definitely subscribed. You might want to look into cerakote finishing instead of paint. Not for this type of build but for something like your spacemouse build just for the durability. I’ve done cerakote on plastics for gun parts and they can be oven cured. I’m sure pla wouldn’t be able to take the heat but probably abs would be. The finishing and durability is amazing. Can’t wait for the next video!

[@salimbenbouz]

Thanks! I Will Check it out

Wow, this build is absolutely amazing! I really appreciate the old-school aesthetic of the design, and it's truly inspiring. It's definitely a great testament to your skills that I'm feeling the urge to build one for myself. I'm curious about the battery life. How long can the batteries power the device? Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you for sharing such a cool project!

[@salimbenbouz]

Thanks! around 2 to 3 hours if you're using everything. If you turn off the screen it's way more then that.

[@lallaouianas4565]

Clear and detailed 👌🏻👌🏻

[@leftblank]

The case looks really nice after the work you put in. You use PCB way for custom boards as a progression from hand made to a more refined product. Maybe for another project you could see the 3d printing as stage one and when the design works you could also have that send off to be printed with something like shapeways?

[@salimbenbouz]

Thanks! Yes, that could work as well. @pcbway offers 3D printing, CNC and a lot of manufacturing services. They could have done all the entire production and I can assemble on my side, but as you said I need to be sure that my design works first and when I need to produce more then one.

[@federicoortiz2868]

What about modding the backlight to introduce 60hz strobing for a more CRT feel?

[@azizdjanofficial]

What a masterpiece! I kinda dreamt building something like this for Doom Classic. Now maybe it became a plan... Thanks for your work! +1 subscriber!

[@clifgordon]

Really awesome project, @salimbenbouz ! Question about the pcbs -- do you also have a gerber where you've panelized the pcbs? It looks like pcbway and other fab houses will only help with panelizing the same design and I'd like to order up a set similar to how you had yours laid out. Thanks again for the sharing your work!
