Atomic Pi mounting brackets for ITX Case

thingiverse

Sorry the pics are skewed, I took this pics a long time ago when I was working on this project before I realized how Thingiverse would resize widescreen pics. These are a series of simple brackets I made for mounting an Atomic Pi SBC in ITX cases. Since the I/O ports are all over the place on the Atomic Pi, I decided to not bother trying to line any particular side up with the I/O port on the case and instead to mount the Atomic Pi inboard, leaving the I/O port on the case free for whatever the user decides to do with it. The Atomic Pi can be mounted in a couple of different orientations depending on the details of the build. There's a flat, low profile version for mounting an Atomic Pi with either no breakout board, or the Baby Breakout Board (any version), or the Full Size Breakout Board if you remove the rubber pads from the bottom of the full size board. There's a thicker, reinforced version with built in standoffs for the full size breakout board if you want to retain the rubber foot pads for some reason. There's a standoff that is the same height as the brass standoffs that come with the breakout boards that can be used to level out the baby breakout board, or to give more clearance under the board if you need it. There is a washer that's the same thickness as the breakout board PCB for further leveling out the board if you need to. The heatsink on the Atomic Pi is quite tall, so there's no guarantee that these will work with any particular ITX case. I made the thin brackets as thin as I could and still have adequate rigidity to hold the board. If you need them thicker or want to experiment with them thinner, I suggest scaling them in Z dimension inside your slicer. The case that I used for prototyping and that is seen in the pictures is a ThermalTake Core V1 Snow Edition (CA-1B8-00S6WN-01). It has plenty of room all around for the Atomic Pi, maybe too much room (might as well build a real ITX system if you're going to use a case this big - other than the price difference between an Atomic Pi and proper ITX hardware). These are all designed to use M3 screws - I used M3x6mm, but you might need shorter or longer ones depending on how you're using them.
