3D Printer: Mounting Arm and Case for Raspberry Pi HQ Camera and Raspberry Pi / OctoPi

thingiverse

This system was designed to work with the Creality CR-6 SE printer, but should work with __any__ printer or CNC that uses a 40mm x 40mm extruded aluminum frame (including Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro, CR-10 MAX) . The Raspberry Pi case for your OctoPi server is designed to allow either direct mounting of the Raspberry Pi to the case using standoffs or dropping in the popular aluminum Flirc case for better heat dissipation. The case also supports mounting a **5v** 40mm fan. Noctua fans are suggested due to their quiet operation and lengthy warranty. They also included the 3-pin to 2-pin adapter which will allow you connect it directly to pins 4 and 6 of your Raspberry Pi's GPIO. If you are using the Flirc case, the camera cable and fan cable can both be passed through the GPIO slot on the bottom of the Flirc case. Remove the cosmetic black plastic TOP panel to increase cooling performance.
