RetroPie Custom Console Case

This is an original design case for the Raspberry Pi. I have really got into the RetroPie and wanted to have a case for the Pi that looked more at home sitting under a TV screen. I didn't want to have wires and connectors popping out of the sides, so there is a cavity at the rear that allows access to the USB and Ethernet while directing the cables to the rear. This is the culmination of that design. I use the SNES controllers to control the emulators and wanted to have the ports on the front of the console, for that I am using PetRockBlog's [RetroPie GPIO Adapter](http://petrockblog.storenvy.com/products/9880033-retropie-gpio-adapter).The first design only had the SNES ports on the front, and while they work for me, some may not want them at all. So I made a 'plain' version of the case as well. Some time after I noticed a tweet on PetRockBlog's Twitter feed asking for a case that could also take their [PowerBlock](http://petrockblog.storenvy.com/products/13969704-powerblock) as well. So I designed the case to accommodate that as well. Unfortunately as the PowerBlock and GPIO Adaptor both use the same pins there is no SNES version (something that only occurred to me AFTER I spent 8 hours printing out a case lol).Pretty much all the files have been updated (28/01/2016) with a number of improvements over the original - stand-offs are more robust, connector holes line up better and of course the PowerBlock versionEach case is made up of 4 or 5 printed parts.If you want a **SNES** based case then print:* RetroPie Mk3 Case Lid.stl* RetroPie Mk3 Case Logo Insert.stl* RetroPie Mk3 SNES Lower.stl* RetroPie Mk3 SNES Upper.stl* 9 x No2 6mm ScrewsIf you want a **Plain** based case then print:* RetroPie Mk3 Case Lid.stl* RetroPie Mk3 Case Logo Insert.stl* RetroPie Mk3 PLAIN Lower.stl* RetroPie Mk3 PLAIN Upper.stl* 9 x No2 6mm ScrewsIf you want a **Plain** with **PowerBlock** based case then print:* RetroPie Mk3 Case Lid.stl* RetroPie Mk3 Case Logo Insert.stl* RetroPie Mk3 PLAIN POWERBLOCK Lower.stl* RetroPie Mk3 PLAIN POWERBLOCK Upper.stl* RetroPie Mk3 Case POWERBLOCK Standoff* 8 x No2 6mm Screws* M2 x 19mm Bolt* 5mm LED* SPST Rocker Switch (RS Part No. 419794 or any that needs a panel cut out of 19.0 to 19.4mm)
