Something that was on my mind since the MK1 is that I can fit the wii and accompanying 4layer boards in a height of about 60mm so I decided I was going to make a portable heavily inspired by YveltalGriffin's UltraWii and Shanks PiiWii Pocket.
The enclosure dimensions are 67x146x28mm
Features:
~ 4layer tech boards
~ omega trimmed wii
~ 3.5" LCD
~ OEM switch parts
~ 4x18500 2000mAh batteries
~ electron shepherds dual tact switches
Internals:
THE GOOD:
I like this guy because he uses all 4layer tech boards for compatability and ease of use. He also uses 18500s which allow me to make the case as small as it is while still using battery clips and having plenty of room for the triggers. He's also the first truly pocketable portable I've made and that's what I've truly wanted out of my portables.
THE BAD:
Since I'm using shorter batteries the 4 18500s give me about the same amount of power density as 2 18650s. Also as always I had some CAD issues. For instance the replacement switch sticks I bought didn't work so I had to widen the holes to fit OEM sticks. I also put the nub for the dead buttons in the wrong spot so all the arrows point inwards.
THE UGLY:
I'm also using 20mm fan (thank you loopj) and two 20mm copper heatsinks for heat dissipation and while he's holding up currently and staying at about 52c I'm a little worried. I tried to use heat tape for the wii but wasn't getting good enough thermal dissipation so I had to use my thermal glue.
