If you’ve ever wanted a TV like the one in the popular animated sitcom The Simpsons, you’re in luck. Reddit user bubba447 built one, and they’re planning to release a detailed DIY guide so you can build your own.

The little purple TV operates on a Raspberry Pi Zero running Jessie Lite. There are two dials on it, one for turning on the speaker and 640x480 screen and the other for adjusting the volume. It contains a 32GB SD card with 11 seasons’ worth of compressed episodes that play in random order. It is USB-powered and was designed in Fusion 360 and printed with a Creality Ender-3 Pro.
