Octoprint Pi Case - Ender 3 Extruder Rail

thingiverse

This is an OctoPrint case for a Raspberry Pi 3B to be attached to the front extruder rail of a Creality Ender 3. This is a remix/meld of the Raspberry Pi 2/3 case by jayftee and the camera mount by StokedGiraffe. Many thanks to these folks for the starting points. Pi case remixes and why: 1. I trimmed back the swept-back dividers between the USB ports and the Ethernet jack. The one by jayftee contacted a resistor on my Pi and broke it free. Luckily I was able to solder it back on. 2. I added a ball joint to attach the camera mount to. 3. I relocated the fan hole so I could have the fan and pi cam attached at the same time. 4. I closed off the GPIO pin hole because I'm not using them. 5. I added the extruder rail mount. 6. I changed the height of the pi case top because I have a heatsink that is mounted to the SBC's mounting holes, so it adds 4.3mm of height to the board. Included is the customized .stl as well as a version for a standard pi with no extra heatsink. Camera mount remixes and why: 1. I adjusted the size of the gap for the ribbon cable because my knock-off camera had a slightly larger than standard ribbon cable jack. 2. I added a socket to the base instead of the screw-hold mounting style.
