Yet another Raspberry Pi Lisa case, but this one has the STLs!

Fantastic! Great Job! Bravo!

As a bonus, here's a Mac version from Adafruit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_duo8Wogsw and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:441583 (but there's more parts needed as listed in the video description).

SUCCESS!!!!
I got it to fill the screen with and ALT-Click movement and yes Lisa or LisaEm on the Raspberry Pi 3!
Check it out...

Congrats! looks very neat! A couple of questions:
1. So I'm guessing the proverbs were typed in LisaWrite? Or did someone write a bible app for the Lisa that we're not aware of? If I had to guess, it would be copying the text and pasting with the paste command?
2. I'm guessing the alt-click is some shortcut in raspbian I'm not aware of? I suppose it's this: https://superuser.com/questions/428974/how-to-enable-dragging-windows-with-alt-click-in-gnome-3-gnome-shell ?
Sadly that looks like only 1/4th the display of the Lisa video output, I guess this is less of a question than it is a gripe. I wish those RPi LCD screens had higher resolution - I think they're 320x240. Ideally a 1024x768 display would be perfection, though an 800x600 should work with raw mode, but it will be squished a bit vertically. Sadly I only see 7" displays that have at least that resolution which, I suppose you could build a much larger case for.
I think you'll like 1.2.7 on the next push to github as I've added an option to turn off centering in skinless mode. I've got something like two dozen bugs to fix though... it also has the ability to scale down to 50% size, though I'm not sure how bad that will look on that display - likely a 50% reduction will fit the entire Lisa display perfectly, but the resolution will be very poor.

I would say, please wait a few weeks maybe a couple of months until I shake out all the bugs in LisaEm 1.2.7, as this version has a few very useful features for use on a raspberry pi. For one thing, it adds a command line option interface, so when it launches you can have it turn on immediately and go full screen and go skinless, so you could setup Raspbian to auto start with LisaEm on power on.
The trouble is, skinless modes right now have some sizing and mouse location issues, but I've also found and fixed a few memory leaks and I'm tracking down another memory clobber issue that I have to fix before I can go back to fixing the display issues.
Does the display you use report that it's much larger than it is? Does centering in skinless mode break things?
I don't want to steal the conversation away from your RPi case and build to LisaEm, and I know you've mentioned some of the build stuff on your links off youtube, but could you tell us a bit more here? Like what display did you use for your RPi, and does it need any drivers? Anything else you had to do to prep the case for 3D printing and any post printing processes?
This is a pretty common use case for an RPi and I'm sure lots of folks are interested in building their own, myself included, though, I do own one of the ones made by Charles Mangin ( https://retroconnector.com/?s=pixl&submit=Search ) However in my case I couldn't get the display to work, it just shows a white background and nothing else, perhaps I need to install a driver or something, so right now I just keep it powered off a shelf display.
[Actually I do know some of the answers to these questions, but this more to get this conversation started and more people involved, I'm sneaky that way.]

Hi Ray,
Here's a list of steps and materials:
Raspberry Pi 3 (the 4 had some issues)
LCD Screen: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01IGBDT02/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Driver = http://www.lcdwiki.com/zh/3.5inch_RPi_Display
Some cables, and stuff: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07QNSJQFN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07BZHMTZ4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
LCD to rip connectors: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01LZF1ZSZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
3D printing of these SLT:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2514288
You need to print them UN-grouped, then glue or tape / connect them together. The Library that I did mine said they needed if all in pieces to print them.
Yes Ray, I would love if it would just boot up to Lisa, wow what a dream.
Also by the way there was a way, the best way I found to get a usable LisaEm hard drive and programs, etc was to build it on the OS X and adding the Lisa Office Files, then I used this method to add stuff from the clipboard. (it was a utility that let you take text and put it into the clipboard buffer, then when in LisaEm you could click paste, so I could populate the Books of Proverbs, or what ever stuff to read you want,
Here's a link to the LisaEmProfile file:

enjoy. Looking forward to your solution Ray!

So, on the next push, which is like two dozen bugfixes away, you should be able to add a line to ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart with the line
--- Code: ---/usr/local/bin/lisaem --kiosk
--- End code ---
to enable that.
One recent change, and sorry for pain, but if sound doesn't work with 1.2.6 on the pi and you want it to work, you'll need to install the libsdl2-dev package and rebuild wxWidgets passing --with-sdl like this (this is part of the next version of the build-wx3.1.2-gtk script:
--- Code: --- export CFLAGS="-fPIC" CXXFLAGS="-fPIC"
../configure --with-gtk --enable-unicode --disable-debug --disable-shared --without-expat --disable-richtext \
--with-libpng=builtin --with-libjpeg=builtin --with-libtiff=builtin --with-libxpm=builtin \
--prefix=/usr/local/wx${VER}-${TYPE} \
--with-libxpm=builtin --prefix=/usr/local/wx${VER}-${TYPE} \
--with-sdl \
&& make && $SUDO make install || exit 2
--- End code ---
Unfortunately wxWidgets sound no longer works, even with osspd-pulseaudio installed with recent releases of GTK and the wxDevs haven't yet started to support pulseaudio yet. see: https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/18000 and https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/14899
On LisaEm power on you should hear the speaker click, then if you boot off a floppy you should hear the insert floppy sound and the motor spin. If you don't, it's broken.
