SimpleDeck

by pgattic · Medium · manifest draft — being verified

A glueless, solderless Raspberry Pi 4 cyberdeck that combines a 4.3-inch DSI touchscreen, Rii X1 thumb keyboard and USB power bank in a printable enclosure.

pgattic designed SimpleDeck around straightforward assembly: the Raspberry Pi, screen, fan, battery and keyboard fit into a printed shell without solder or adhesive. The compact layout keeps the power bank's ports accessible at the enclosure end, while a right-angle USB-C adapter routes power in the limited interior space.

Notes

Official README, OpenSCAD source tree and MIT license rechecked at commit a8bd43644013a9ff24d091fc958681caca5dd5f6 on 2026-11-01. The current repository publishes parametric box and lid sources in src/, and the README specifies two 90-degree USB-C adapters. Kept as draft because the display has no stated brand or model and the screw and USB-C adapter variants remain under-specified. The creator's Best Buy battery URL is not allowlisted, so the catalog uses an exact-model marketplace listing instead.
