1:4 Scale Monitor II

This model (also by option8) is originally designed for a 4:3 Composite LCD. I am going to modify it for an HDMI LCD unit.


Apparently this LCD screen doesn't fit inside the bezel. Edit /boot/config.txt file to adjust screen margins.


Make an opening for the HDMI connector and USB micro power connector.


Place the Monitor II on top of the Apple III.


Run Apple III demo with apple3rtr.

1:4 Scale Apple III Raspberry Pi Case

I 3D printed, painted and assembled the Apple III Raspberry Pi Case by Charles Mangin/option8.

1. Spray with gray primer, and airbrush with acrylic paint.

2. Metallic-black : Buff : White = 2 : 6 : 92.

3. Attach the logo plates, and spray with semi-gloss lacquer.

4. Install a Raspberry Pi 3B.

5. Assemble the parts.

6. Now the LCD unit also needs an enclosure
