I am working on a new Wii portable, and wanted to experiment with case materials. I was going to order what I wanted from @PCBWayOfficial, but they offered store credit to cover the cost if I make 2 posts tagging them. Here's a thread review of my experience ordering resin prints

Designed a little 1U 10" bench power supply based around the RK6012 for my Rack Nook desk shelf (github.com/loopj/rack-nook)

I wanted a truly modular/customizable desk shelf, so I built one. Rack Nook is a desk shelf system, based around 10" or 19" rack components.
It's open source, you can find everything you need to build your own here: github.com/loopj/rack-nook

For the center rack module I installed a DeskPi 6.91-inch touch screen, and wrote a quick Flutter application for media control.

The whole thing is really simple, honestly it's just a shelf on some 3D-printed legs, but having the rack rails allows for a lot of flexibility in how you set it up, and what you put on it. Let me know if you build your own!

Supports all kinds of USB storage devices, the SP1 variant even allows network game streaming (Swiss RetroNAS/FSP) and more!

For the protocol nerds out there, I managed to get the target response time (time between message being received from a console, and us sending the reply) down to ~3us on the Pi Pico backend. This is *very* close to the ASIC's response time in OEM controllers.

The Scalable Video Switch and RetroTINK-4K are a match made in heaven, such a clean setup. Nice work on these @Arthrimus - scalablevideoswitch.com
