Please note I am no expert in Fusion 360, so the file may be a little messy. I have included my rendering, a sliced profile of the cabinet (for reference during the build), and the Fusion 360 File which can be modified if you need to adjust and re-export any CNC files. For me, I felt the controls being exactly 39" from the ground felt the best, and I chose to go with a horizontal control panel not because it would be easier, but because a slanted control board at that height was not as comfortable on my wrists. Also, it is good to figure out the height you feel is right for you based on the controls and screen. This step is optional if you want to trust me entirely, but I made some decisions I know were personal preferences (such as the button layout), and some people will feel differently. If someone can give me guidance on how to do that I'd be happy to update the Instructable to include that. dxf CNC files to paper templates that could be used when cutting by hand. *Apologies upfront that I don't have any easy way to translate the.

The Steam Link simply acts as a streaming receiver for your computer that can accept it's own inputs (controllers) and relay it back to the computer. They released the Steam Link a while back to allow people to play Steam games on their TV by remotely steaming their PC. It came out even better than I'd hoped and I had to share.įor those who don't know, Steam is a popular platform to buy, manage and download your PC games all in one place. Also I wanted something with a small footprint. So I designed "The Steam Engine Arcade" to run on a Steam Link (Purchased for $5 during a Steam sale) and let my gaming PC do the work. I wanted to build an arcade, but wanted to do something different than the RetroPie bartop arcades I see everywhere.
