RetroBuiltGames built a custom multi-input retro monitor called the PixelVision AV1000 MKII, and published the STEP files and PCBs on GitHub. The core display is a 9.7-inch 2K iPad panel, chosen specifically for pixel density, which is a rare priority in retro hardware circles. A RetroTink clone handles the multi-input conversion, housed in a rear bulge that is large enough to fit a single-board computer if you want a full emulation station. Two speakers are already mounted in the sides.
The aesthetic is deliberate: Amiga 1000 monitor meets a small tilting Sony CRT TV. More interesting than the finished unit is the build methodology. RetroBuiltGames designed every printed part to be FDM-friendly, orienting the most visible surface flat on the bed and redesigning any assembly that proved difficult. That design-for-manufacturing discipline rarely shows up in hobby builds at this level of documentation.
The build video is the real artifact here, not the GitHub repo. If your use case differs from his, the video is where you learn the reasoning behind each decision. The project also includes custom retail-style packaging and a self-produced unboxing video, which is exactly as absurd as it sounds and worth watching for that reason alone.
