Since a kid I loved videogames. As an Adult, that has not changed. So what do I do. Make my own console out of Perler Fusebeads, A Raspberry Pi 3, USB connecters, Switch. I did not just want to just create a box but wanted to go a little more difficult! Here are some pictures of it's creation...
A lot of fusebeads youll need first!
Had to size everything up. Hard Drive, USB Connectors, Power Switch
Here I beaded the Bottom, Side A & B, Front Bottom, Underside, Front Top, and Back plate. Creating the interwoven pattern to link the pieces together. Added Dr Wily inside I wanted to have it faced up.
I needed the help of Flash to hold my wire while I solder the USB Connectors together.
Needed Superman for the Power Switch soldering. Very Strong Guy.
The Top plate design. I wanted to include my favorite Megaman and his Dog Rush. Also created the Vent area on the right side incase the Raspberry Pi heats up. Wanted to be a little fancy and line vent up with Power button.
Also Not pictured. I will add them soon. I have created reinforcing braces inside so you can actually hold with a little force without the console bending in the middle. So you can actually hold it with a little force without it buckling!
Created ports and used color beads to designate what goes where. Blue for HDMI, Red for POWER, Green/Yellow for A/V.
Front with the 4 USB connectors attached. with the indentation of the bottom. Colored beads designating controller port 1 - 4
And BOOM! The W.
Currently Runs RETROPIE + KODI !
In the future I want to master the ironing technique for the fusebeads but im very happy with how it came out. Thank you so much for reading through this. People have been asking me if I would create them for other people. I said I would love to. Just help me get the materials and tell me what theme you want and I'll create it. Feel free to Contact me! I'm friendly!
