I designed a nostalgic 3D printable (FDM only) desktop sized multi-format video display monitor. A kit-bash of parts in a style mash-up between a mini Sony TV and the Amiga 1000 monitor. I call it the PixelVision AV-1000 Mk II.
This is an 'everything' input video source device including: HDMI, VGA, component, s-video, and composite video; and 3.5mm stereo audio input/ output. The portable monitor has pretty decent audio with two pairs of built-in speakers and excellent picture quality [2048×1536] with the OEM ipad (gen3/4) IPS LCD panel.

![Pandoras Box 5S [bootleg], 2-player Arcade in a Box | Review
With 1300 games stuffed into a 2-player control panel, how is the experience for coffee table arcade gaming? Im looking at build quality, design, UI experience and overall gameplay presentation.
In summary: its meh.
The game list is too long to put in the desc; so Ive posted it on my website here: http://www.retrobuiltgames.com/reviews/pandora-s-box-5s-cp/ Pandoras Box 5S [bootleg], 2-player Arcade in a Box | Review](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mmGhPJ-hjps/mqdefault.jpg)




![Automatic Small Part Counting Machine with Arduino | Version 2
I rebuilt my small parts counting machine into a smaller form factor with a better mechanical separator inspired by Rx pill counters. I [used to] sell kits with small parts/fasteners. Counting them by hand is time consuming. I made this robot to do the task.
I consider this endeavor abandoned- but enough people find this video and ask about the design files so everything is open source now.

id love to revisit this. please share what you make. this solution done cheap will help so many people. Automatic Small Part Counting Machine with Arduino | Version 2](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/r7ZmXTTQmEo/mqdefault.jpg)
