Title: Zero Terminal, A Homemade Portable Raspberry Pi Device
Post by: Varti on April 03, 2017, 05:08:33 am

The Zero Terminal is a homemade project consisting of a Raspberry Pi Zero W inside a 3D printed shell, with a slide-out QWERTY iPhone 5 keyboard and an Adafruit PiTFT Plus display. All the parts can be already ordered separately, while the files of the 3D shell will be released once finished.

The device seems to be a bit bulky and I wonder how sturdy can be a 3D printed case, but at least it's cheap and you can build it now (almost).

Interesting, seems like that guy knows his stuff. Though I wonder if he made the case for this project by himself too, since I don't see any reference for the 3D printer files.
