There's probably not a lot of people who might need this, especially since the Gen1 Printrbot is no more, but I was tired of vinnivg's wonderfully small "A very compact Raspberry pi B+ and Pi 2 case" slipping out from underneath my Printrbot Simple Metal everytime I moved it, and since I am getting it ready to sell it, I wanted the new owner to have the best experience possible, so I slapped this retaining clip together in OpenSCAD to keep the incredibly slim case snug inside.
Combined with my hack to swap the Printrboard 180-degrees (putting the micro-USB port inside the base) and adding a 2.1A 5v supply (from an old mini-USB car charger that I didn't need anymore — who uses Mini-USB ?) it makes this fully-featured printer with Octoprint, auto-upload YouTube timelapses, built-in slicer (for emergencies) entirely self-contained other than the powersupply (yes, I've even ran it from a car cigarette lighter before :)
It's so clean, it will break my heart to see it go, but hopefully to a wonderful new home.
If you want to clean up your Octopi-outfitted Printrbot Simple Metal, grab this clip, and vinnieg's case, and give it a whirl.
Enjoy !
