Working Mini TV With Raspberry Pi!

I had a Raspberry pi and a 5 inch screen hanging around and I was thinking about things I could make, so I decided to build a mini TV and I thought of making one that had 2 antenna like some of the older televisions. About any Raspberry Pi should work. Raspberry Pi desktop is where you can stream Netflix, I suggest just running Netflix or other TV platforms on Raspberry Pi's browser. This is an easy build and doesn't take that much set up besides the raspberry pi. There is more than enough room for a battery to fit inside but I put a hole in the back for a plug.

1. This is the screen you will need

5. A Raspberry Pi
6. A 3D printer (I have a Ankermake M5)
7. (optional) A tiny bit of wire (for the antenna)

Set your Raspberry Pi with Pi imager (This is better explanation https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html)

In the box there are instructions on how to set up the screen with the raspberry pi, I set up my Raspberry Pi on a larger screen and then connected the smaller screen. Then, connect the speaker. Just so you know the touch supplies power as well as touch. All of this should connect with some form of usb.

I made about 4 failed designs before I printed this one and it worked which was fun and I learned alot. I 3D printed the case in black, WITH SUPPORTS! You can also print it in white and color it yourself!

So, what I did first was put in the screen, it should fit in without that much effort, then put the speaker so the 2 holes have the speaker behind them. Then put the Raspberry Pi in, if you would like, you could put in a battery, there was room for one in between the speakers and screen for me. Now, all you need to do is plug it in, or turn on the battery and sign in to Netflix or Disney+ to watch your favorite shows or movies! If you have any questions or something went wrong, let me know in the comments!

I hope you enjoy!
