RPi Home theater case

thingiverse

A case for a small RPi based home theater. There is room for improvement. It is good enough to put to use. The case in full (Pi Box 1.19), printed as a whole, took +8 hrs on my Mendel. Hence, it is now composed of distinct faces (Pi Box 1.22). On avarage, each face prints within one to two hours. For the buttons assembly, see http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:198205 Components: RPi B WiFi TL-WN725N PiFace CAD http://www.piface.org.uk/products/piface_control_and_display HiFiBerry board https://www.hifiberry.com/dacplus USB Harddisk 500GB USB hub RPi power cable: mini USB left angle to USB Harddrive cable: USB 3.0 left angle to USB USB Hub cable: USB 2.0 right angle to mini USB The design was made with FreeCAD http://www.freecadweb.org The dimensions were restricted by the room available in my audio-visual equipment cabinet. No golden ratio there :-) Instructions Not satisfied with the design yet. Following the Cult of Done Manifesto, it is good enough to be put to use. After printing and cleaning threaded the side columns with M2.5. The bottom plate is screwed on the side columns with M2.5 bolts. The HD mount parts (you need to print four of these) also threaded with M2.5 and assembled into position using the slits in the bottomplate. The divider plate RPi mount holes are drilled with 2.5mm drill, then threaded M3. You have the FreeCAD design file, feel free to adjust or beautify the design to your liking. [2015-03-01 Update] Adjusted the Audio/HDMI and Ethernet holes position. Added SD Card access. [2015-03-23 Update] Ethernet cutout to make room for USB Hub connector. Clips added to front and back panel.
