Total with all parts used = $255.00 Taking advantage of shipping deals on Amazon and Ebay, only 12$ in Additional Shipping. (I added a Bluetooth 8BitDO Gamepad for a bit of retrogaming. It even stores 2 of them under the keyboard with the battery for a small portable game station that streams to any HDMI TV.)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156IC8M8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ---only 16$! All Features : The DevTop is completely Flexible in its design, and is pretty much just a final "Rough Draft" Its meant to be something that has the needed dimensions already there, with tested clearance for the items listed in the build above, and is ready to be redesigned and reshaped or enclosed to your hearts desire! The design STLs include the Hinge as an individual printable part, that can be bonded or glued to any screen you require, or imported back into Sketchup and added directly into your designs. The SoC can be mounted front to back or side to side. Depending on Port Placement and User Need. EASY PRINT... This unit was created with ease of printing in mind. The 2 halves are built to be glued or bonded together after printing, and the Screen prints in one piece. Those 3 Pieces are all that is "Required" to get the Devtop up and running. The Project Plates and LED eyes are Optional. Hinges are made with a "Tight" Tolerance, to provide a slight tension after inserting the M3 Screws. This allows the screen to hold open or shut, without springs or latches. Just keep the screws Snug. Hinge is made to bond the 2 Halves together, providing a greater support for larger screens. (10 - 13.1") Led (Eyes) that Light up with the Monitor Switch or External Switch) Space Under Keyboard for a Flat 12v AA Battery Pack. Built in Speakers with USB Power. (REMOVED) 2.5" Hdd/SDD/Msata Mounting Tabs 4 Port Internal USB 2.0 Hub for extra connectivity. Layback Grooves on the Hinge Backs, allow for an Extra 10 Degrees of Back tilt on the Screen. Make the Monitor Hinge Mounting holes "Taller" for a greater layback. Open Chassis for Easy Access for Wiring and Cables to Robotics projects, or any other non-chassis mounted project or peripheral. ALL Sketchup Drawings and STLs are Included. (Showing Progression) Get the Latest Version of the Monitor, Left and Right Sides to build the most recent revision of the unit. Feel Free to modify and Redesign this unit all you like! ANY Prusa with a build area of 180x180x140+ can print this model. (Currently) This was created as a useful purpose to all the SoC projects I had half finished, laying around my house. Now They all have a chassis I can drop them into interchangeably, as needed, while using my old cases, to protect the SoC when not in use. Or, With the Up-Board that is soon to ship out, You can have a Ready and waiting Netbook Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 Netbook/Laptop at your disposal as a part of your SoC Arsenal! :-D (Nerd-Gasm!) For Quick changes and Someone who moves through a lot of electronics projects, I find this unit to be almost a necessity. With enough Flexibility to make it Truly Useful! A place for Everything, EVERYTHING in its PLACE! :-P Enjoy! -Z- Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: FolgerTech Prusa i3 Aluminum 2020 Resolution: .12mm - .20mm Layers .4MM nozzle Infill: 40-60% for Mounting Post Strength Notes: Printing under 40% will make weak Mounting posts that break off with ease and cannot be tapped for a screw to be inserted. At that infill, they simply twist right off the model. Post-Printing Finishing and Bonding... Final Assembly... Trim the Brim Neatly from all parts. Try to be as Even as possible. The seam will show a lot otherwise. Glue the 2 halves together by standing them up on a table, one atop the other. This creates just enough pressure to bond them with Superglue. Be sure to glue all contacting surfaces between the two halves. A good bond makes it feel like one piece afterwards. (Superglue works well, but leaves a white film on every joining point. Gorilla glue works very well and makes a much stronger union of the parts. But more clamping is required, as the glue expands a lot, even in small amounts.) Gently work the hinges down onto the tabs BEFORE allowing the model to Fully dry. This will ensure the hinges are able to fit, and that the glue (Like Gorilla Glue), cannot push the hinges apart while drying/reacting. Lay down on Plastic Wrap to Completely Dry. As it peels away easily or can be trimmed. Work out all the Screw/Hinge holes with a Drill bit, making sure that it gives the screws you are using enough clearance not to break off the posts. Add the Speakers to the Tabs as Shown. I Used Gorilla Glue here, and for all of version 2.0, to bond the halves. Just be sure to clamp it and use minimal glue. Gorilla glue expands as it dries. Shorten the speaker and USB cables coming from them to fit into the case, making sure they reach the USB sound card or SoC Sound Jack, and the Battery USB Port. Ports on the RAVPower battery as you face them are as follows... Left = 1AMP 5v (Speakers) Middle = 2.1AMP 5v (USB Hub) Requires a 5v 2MM to USB Cable Right = 2.4AMP 5v (Odroid or SoC of choice) Screw in the SoC of Choice, Solder up a USB power Cable for the SoC to the Battery and your Monitor, Power it all up, and Connect your Rii Keyboard! Bam... up and Running! Touchscreen and all! Showing Sound Card Position and USB Hub Position Sometimes you gotta get creative with clamping :-) New Speaker Mounting tabs allow one set to be moved from revision to revision. A Sharpie on Black PLA hides the Gorilla Glue lines Nicely! (After it Dries of course...) Afterthoughts Version 1 offers a 2.5" HDD mount, and a Tighter fit for the original Bluetooth RII Keyboard. (But a much smaller battery) The New design fits the rounded edge new style of RII VERY well and it basically clips into place. But the older style with flat edges has about 0.2mm gap between the edge and the clips. However, you can overcome this with a few well placed small strips of gorilla tape on the underside of the RII keyboard, at the edges. This snugs the fit up perfectly, and should hold up pretty well.
