\"Simpson
3d Printed Simpsons TV 7in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Had someone ask me to build a 3d printed Simpsons TV but a larger than ones already online. So after some searching I found the 3.5 inch version to be best for my needs and scaled it all up to 1.712 then added some brackets 3d model of the front face to fit the 7in screen I selected for the project. Made more changes to the CAD design in the back for added USB and lighted fan. Changed hole for the power cord with a hole plug and detachable wire wrap. Adjustments to the 3d print as needed for knobs to change to a momentary button and larger trim pot. Also made my own antenna since one wasn’t included and closed up vcr since I didn’t add the extra functions. It does still function as a raspberry pi with WiFi Bluetooth etc with control by adding keyboard and mouse to the added usb port. The monitor had speakers already so no need for amp or speakers. The monitor comes with cables to connect to different Pis. Will have to do some soldering for the knobs and the digital converter to make volume work and to connect fan with usb but after that its 2 usb from Pi to fan and dual usb port and the power cable coming in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also included the code I used. This was my first time working with pi so can maybe be done better but this works fine. I used Pi OS with desktop so could still be used as Pi and use Bluetooth speakers and internet if wanted etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the non 3d printed parts I used. Pretty expensive build but came out nice. Main costs were the monitor and Pi rest you may have laying around if this is what you do lol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also needed a GOOD raspberry pi power cord to avoid low voltage warnings.(ill add when i find link lol) A 64gb mirco sd card,  jumper wires, couple of usb extenders(one for dual USB and one to cut and attach to fan), solder, the ability to solder, code and paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took me about 3-4 weeks of tweaking testing etc to get it all fitted and working but should be alot easier now. I plan to make a full write up when I have time. Its a fairly simple build now and a great looking case for raspberry pi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Print main case with supports everywhere but at like 45 to 50 angle for minimal but needed supports. I use normal and concentric and they come off fine for me with little clean up. I also used supports on knobs and face etc as needed but. Print the Ethernet port part on flat side with support from plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the parts printed once except feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n
