Seek Thermal Camera Core Starter Kit Mounting Case

thingiverse

Mounting and environmental protection case for the Seek Camera Core Starter Kit. Used on the S304SP., likely to work with other starter kits. Assumes that rubber isolators are placed onto the bottom of the PCB within the housing. Provides 4 thru-holes for m2.5 screws. Only the front two mounting screws are needed, and are threaded directly into the camera mount. Dimensions leave some room for thermal expansion, but once the case is mounted, the camera is rigid within the frame. Front cover is press-fit, although no durability testing has been done to determine how many removal cycles it remains rigid. In practice, I placed another set of rubber isolators coaxial with the mounting screws between the bottom of the PCB and the case to reduce stress on the PCB. A hole in the exterior enables micro-USB in. The dimensions of the hole are large to enable different USB configurations. This print is printable in two pieces. Using Cura, some unnecessary supports were added adjacent to the mounting holes. If necessary, use the support blocker to stop their generation. The taper angle on the case is such that the only supports needed are for the mounting holes. Consider printing the case upside-down (i.e. USB opening is on bottom)
