Raspberry Pi 3 Media Center Case with Geekworm/SupTronics x820

thingiverse

v3 truly supports 15mm thick 2.5" HDD. v2.3 supports 10mm thick 2.5" HDD. v3.1 - increased vent hole spacing to make it easier to remove supports after printing. Top Case and Button are the same for all bottom case versions Here's a case I designed to make a Pi 3 Media Center to accommodate the Geekworm/SupTronics x820 v3 SATA module. I borrowed a nice RJ45 Jack from this post here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6647 so I could extend the Ethernet to the back using a standard wall RJ45 jack from home depot. The cutout in the front is for the deconstructed Hauppage Media Center remote/receiver ($20 at Microcenter). I also used the Raspberry Pi model created here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2023897 as a reference for the IO and layout. other front cutout is to extend a USB port to the front. Still tweaking it and would welcome any suggestions. Done with OpenSCAD. Will hopefully have print settings soon. Also need to clean-up code for vent holes (they were just thrown in the quickest way possible). May try to add a bracket/clip and power button for a standard computer case power switch... I'm planning on using a 4TB 2.5" (15mm thick) hdd for a movie/music repository and OSMC for streaming other content. already tested the Hauppage remote with the generic RC6 Media Center Remote settings in OSMC. Works well. Added a rough power button and bracket for a standard PC power momentary switch - that's the only difference between v2 & v2.1 If you make this before I do, please post a pic. My 3D printer was parsed for cash for the holidays so it's going to be a bit before I print the prototype :P Updated power button.. must be bored today... Version 2.2... same as version 2.1 except updated standoffs and cutout for Hauppage receiver PCB. (added in file with PCB. has accurate measurements of Hauppage Receiver PCB) OK. v2.3 - Changed front USB to accommodate part listed below... think it looks better too. Below is where I found the things to make this project whole. the 2.5 x5.5 plug and jack are for extending the x820 power to the back of the case. Same for the RJ45 plug and jack. The PCTV remote kit is the very one I deconstructed for the Receiver PCB. by far the hardest thing to track down was a short USB A to USB B... but finally found one on A Mazon. This is so I don't have to bunch-up the 3' A to B cable that came with the Hauppage PCTV...
