OUYA handheld build log V2 - GamebOUYA

eucrow
eucrow over 11 years ago

Yeah, I know i'm not done with V1 yet but i've already started working on the second one. The main difference is that for this one I i'm going to allow myself to make changes to the OUYA board itself. I'm not going to try and keep it unplug-able like the V1.

 

I'm aiming to make this a monochrome build and thus decided to model new O,U,Y,A and center buttons with the text embossed onto them. Like the first one I'm keeping a good portion of the controller grips for comfort. I'll eventually get to a V3 where keeping it small will be the most important factor.

 

Initial napkin (everything starts with a napkin sketch) sketch; someone on another forum called this the GamebOUYA and I really like it.

I've already modeled and printed (via Shapeways) new covers to test with and to use as a cutting fence for the controller grips:

Revised and reordered from Shapeways:

    K, done and done. Let me know if the blog post works for you. It wouldn't let me post the whole thing as one big blog post. Too many images so I broke it up into a post and replied to myself with the rest…

    As I said in the other thread, I'm calling this one done as well even though I could probably keep on working on it indefinitely. There's got to be a pencil's down moment, though I plan on getting the next one started real soon.

    The screens look washed out because I've left the protective plastic on. I've always intended on making a few more builds so I thought it best to leave the plastic in place.

    These look awesome! Could you consolidate this and Pt 1 in to a blog (just post it in the Ben Heck Group) and I will make sure we (element14) tweet out your project!

    @element14dave will do. Just to be clear, you'd like me to create a consolidated blog post, not a new consolidated discussion?

    Exactly right, that way we can separate the content from the discussion which will take place in the comments section.
