RaspberryPI 3 - fan mount, 2.5", Octopi , Ender 5

thingiverse

Yet another RPi Case. Will be adding more mounting options soon. Project started as an Odroid C4 case that had 3 x 2.5" drives attached. The Rpi may not be able to support enough power to run 3 x spinning drives but with SSD's it may be possible to run raid 5. I haven't tested this as yet so keen to see if anyone uses these enclosures to run a 3 drives. Have had some success using a heavier USB cable supply actually able to supply at least 2amps. You will need 4 short M3 screws for the board (sorry will need to widen the holes in the pi to 3mm because they are drilled to 2.4, also ok to just leave them out), and 4 longer M3 screws or Cap Screws for the cover. For the Octopi use the 2020 lid and the no mounts base. On an Ender-5 try rotating the X axis stepper 180 degrees and run the cables up from the front rather than from the back of the frame. The Pi case sits tucked away above the control panel and the cables will naturally roll up to the x-Axis gantry. If you want to add a hard drive then use the HD lid + base, with the HD base from my Raid enclosure bits. Allows for a 40mm or 50mm or 60mm fan. The 60mm fan in the picture is just a prop.J Using a SATA controller from here https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000414988962.html
