I've designed this for a 3D Printing enclosure controller initially for the Raspberry Pi 4, but as many people use a Pi 3 for Octorint, I've remixed the design to accommodate a Raspberry Pi 3 b/b+.
The photograph shown is of the case printed using Prusament Anthracite Grey PETG, this was a slightly earlier revision, but you get the idea.
Design Features
- 1.6mm thick walls for sturdy construction
- 4 x 11mm knockouts for panel mount DC barrel jacks
- 4 x 6mm knockouts for panel mount 3.5mm jacks
- 3 x 20mm x 3mm slots for ribbon cables or other wires.
- Mounting posts for M2.5 brass inserts for Raspberry Pi 4
- Mounting post for DC-DC converter if you wish to power the Pi via GPIO (best to add protection circuitry if you do)
- Mounting posts for M2.5/M3 bass inserts to support other components
- Lid secured via M3 bolt into M3 brass insert on base.
Printing
PETG was recommended for the Pi4 version, as the Pi3 runs considerably cooler, PLA should be just fine.
- Main Body:
- Material: PLA or PETG
- Print Settings (PrusaSlicer): 0.20mm Quality, 15% infill
- Supports: None
- Lid:
- Material: PLA or PETG
- Print Settings (PrusaSlicer): 0.20mm Quality, 15% infill
- Positioning: Print the lid top side down.
- Supports: Ideally paint on some supports for the small lips that lock into the base. Or select support on build plate only.
Hardware
- Raspberry Pi 3
- 12/24V to 5V DC-DC Converter:
- 2.5mm DC Barrel sockets and jack plugs
- 3.5mm 3 pole chassis socket and 3.5mm 3 pole plugs
- 3.5mm 4 pole chassis socket and 3.5mm 4 pole plugs (these connectors may require the holes to be enlarged slightly).
- M2.5 Brass inserts
- M2.5 x 5mm bolts (for Pi)
- M3 Brass inserts
- M3 x 8mm bolt (for lid)
- M3 x 4mm for DC-DC Converter and other mounting points
Additional Notes
This is my original design taking some inspiration from Dan Andersen's Compact Fysetc Spider and RPI 4 Case and 120mm Fan
