Creality Ender-3 station (LCD + Raspberry Pi)

thingiverse

This is a station for using Raspberry Pi3 B+ with Creality Ender-3 (Octopi/Octoprint) and also to protect electronics of printer LCD. 05/01/2020 I made 3 different versions: 1) ender station (clean station just to support Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and protect electronics of printer LCD) 2) ender station C (same as number 1 but with Camera support and cable camera passthrough) 3) ender station BFC (same as number 1 but with Button hole, Fan hole, Camera mount and cable camera passthrough) This version is upgraded and has some fixes: -better tolerance to fit Raspberry Pi -perfect LCD fitting -better extrusion 4040 fitting __________________________________________________________________________ Instructions for adding a power pushbutton with status indicator LED: Power button: 1) connect GPIO3 and GND (pin 5 and 6) to pushbutton 2) edit your /boot/config.txt file and add the following line: dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown,gpio_pin=3 3) I use a power switch to power on (and to completely power switch off, since it's not possible to cut power to Raspberry Pi only by software) LED power/status indicator: 1) Use a 330Ω resistor connected to a small LED (about 2V, but one of slightly higher voltage will work well too - just keep it below 5V); the LED is powered by the Pi's TxD serial output pin (pin 8) and the resistor protects the Pi against your LED requesting high current draws that can fry your Pi; the LED's "short" (negative/cathode) lead connects to the resistor and your Pi's ground pin, while the "long" (positive/anode) lead connects to the TxD pin; if something is already connected to your Pi's ground on pin 6, you can use any other ground pin on your Pi. 2) edit your /boot/config.txt file and add the following line: enable_uart=1 Mini Illuminated Momentary Pushbutton - Blue Power Symbol: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3105 Raspberry Pi fan: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B07FVR3TB8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ____________________ If you like my work please consider to make a donation: https://www.paypal.me/PFHesiRe
