Ntron Arcade + Chiptune Synth

Thanks for checking out my Ntron build!

This one is special — an all-in-one retro project that combines 8-bit gaming with chiptune music. It’s packed with fun design choices and plenty of room for customization. You can go simple and get it running fast, or take your time sanding, painting, and adding decals to really make it shine.

I recommend downloading the Ntron_All ZIP file, as it contains everything you need: The 3MF file, STL files, PDF documentation which includes Parts To Source, Wiring Diagrams, and Design Choices along with Decals and Pictures files. You’ll find it under “Download STL”, and the documentation is also available further down this page.

In the 3MF file, the parts are pre-arranged and prepared for printing on the X1C and P1S. Each print plate has its own optimized settings, like material, support, and brim. Some parts even come with multiple versions — make sure to check them out and read the Design Choice section in the documentation for details. To make things easier, the print beds are named for quick reference. Some plates are left empty so you can swap in the part versions that best fit your build. These can be found off to the right in the build plate area.

Filament
For this project I used PLA matte. But I guess most materials would work just fine! 

Please read through all documentation before starting your build.

The whole project is downloadable here

The IMG file containing Retropie, the Audio Visualizer and all scripts for buttons and gamepads is downloadable here it´s truly Plug n Play.

My intention is to keep my projects alive!
