Thank you for sharing the parts list. I hate when I go to a cool build and no parts list.

[@rhaegostheskydragon1760]

It's very impressive how you got everything packed in there. From the viewpoint it looks like everything is packed so tight. Gives you the feeling that it won't close or fit everything comfortably.

[@DTeK]

Thanks, yes its a tight fit for everything, it closes perfectly

[@s0zz1337]

This is amazing. I don't understand the hate against you not using a 3D printer. Not everyone has ready access to one. I love this cyberdeck because it can be assembled without having to print custom parts and if things break it is easy enough to swap out individual parts. This is like you said, a truly 'ready to go' cyberdeck that is decently equipped for most things one could need. Well done. Subbed.

[@DTeK]

thanks, tony stark did the same thing when he was locked on the cave, he just used what he had avaliable :)

[@CrazyCat229]

People love to hate on stuff. Its a peen measuring contest with a lot of people.

[@BricoGaming]

3d printing is not all the time the to go I like it but I still do metal and woodworking because you get to do it by and not by 3d modeling and get it into the printer so it can do the job for you

Nice, all this without a 3D printer or even just a dremel. I was never able to free hand things as nicely as this, which is precisely why I got a 3D printer to make my cases for me.

[@Mr-x-683]

You definitely have experience in this. I tried to do something similar and it’s still on my shelf. I got every component but I overthink how to put things together and that’s what’s causing delays. Very nice project since you can use for testing also.

a heat shield for that wiring going to the screen will add a nice final touch. You can spray paint it any color to match the build. I would go with red or just keep it black.

The Council has decided to offer him the position as Post-Apocalyptic Communications Coordinator. He's invited to the bunker.

[@mill2712]

You know, cyberdecks always made me think about hardened civilian mini computers with storage of information and communication in case the main internet goes down. Things such as history, survival and health guidelines, shelter guidelines, and even some entertainment to keep moral up could be implemented in these.

[@Don_of_yvm]

Most apocalyptic scenarios would render tech like this useless. The commission will consider another suitable role

[@farrongoth6712]

@@Don_of_yvm True in post-apocalyptic worlds electric power would be one of the hardest things to come by on tap, but, I'm sure someone could do this could rig up to rudimentery, hand crank or paddle generator.

​@@g.m.fernandes3579 Yeah depends where you live. Solar isn't that reliable. And not common, yes more house have them but they aren't common. We're talking potential post-apocalyptic situation. You could get a Mobile photovoltaic panel, I suppose. Depending on the apocalyptic event solar may not be viable at all. Photovoltaics aren't a holy grail.

Seeing the lack of 3D printed parts (I think) and the compact size being completed has entirely reignited my desire to build exactly this. I've had like 10 diff revs in multiple enclosures and was never able to find one that fit "just right". I was also trying to pack in a few de-cased retro game consoles, with a full size Logitech K400 and some Creative Pebble Speakers i took out of their enclosure as well. Thing just ended up being bigger than a laptop every time, even though I thought it was WAY cooler. I think ill scale back my end goals and start with just the Pi4 in the case and move on and up from there. This is a lesson on not flying too close to the sun!! Edit: Didnt watch entirely before commenting. I can see where some potential 3D printed parts must be made. Guess that may be the holding block to my progress.

Probably the best VHS punk projects I have ever seen :D

[@bwest6275]

I really like it! I think the only area that looks a bit unfinished are the space to the left of the keyboard below the USB port, and the exposed wires between the two halves. Perhaps the space can be covered with black plastic, and the wires can be wrapped fully with black electrical tape.

[@DTeK]

Thanks, i left that opening to be easyer to lift the keyboard and it gives a little bit more of air flow

Dope! I'd started a project like this (albeit just for the computer part, no GPIO, radio, PSU) back in RPi 3 era. Still have this exact portable keyboard/pad combo ! Unfortunately the keyboard was my biggest hold up there (really was a bit too unweildy for me). And the battery. Yours really came together great! I like all the features you got in there. And still waterproof (probably)!
