Random Time! - Building a Switch clone, the "NinTIMdo RP"

GN Version 5.0

This project was to create a portable gaming system that could also double as a portable computer. The goal was to create a console that was functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. I use what I learned with 3D modeling to make professional looking cases to house my circuits. Buttons were constructed using tactile components behind a stripped façade.

As you can probably guess, this is being used to run various ROMs and emulators, and you can bet Nintendo won't be happy about that. Still, it's an interesting bit of tech to look at.
