CR10S Pro - Raspberry Pi + Buck Converter Installation

thingiverse

I installed a raspberry pi and a buck converter onto the CR10S Pro while hiding everything under the base compartment. The Buck Converter is installed using the power from the rear fan as it outputs a constant 12V-ish and stepped it down to 5.2V. I then used double adhesive tape to secure the buck converter onto the frame. - I cut the red and black wire from the rear fan. Connected both the wire coming from the fan and the power supply onto the positive input of the converter. Did the same for the black wire but to the negative input. So now the power from the power supply is connecting onto the buck converter and also the fan. - I cut a Micro-USB cable and connected the red wire to the positive output of the buck converter. Did the same for the black wire but to the negative output. Then connect that cable to the Pi and secure the Buck Converter. The Raspberry Pi is power from the buck converter and is then installed onto the front of the printer using double adhesive tape. I completely removed the rear switch as I moved it to the front left of the printer for a more convenience reach. This also helped me put the USB Cable through the opening and onto the Pi. I also currently have a logitech camera installed powered from the raspberry pi. I have printed many objects after this install and everything works well as I liked. ****You are welcome to perform these instructions as you wish, but I will not be responsible for anything if something goes wrong.****
