https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smpAkdBX2bM ***UPDATE: Added Ninjaflex buttons*** The Adafruit 2.2" PiTFT HAT is the perfect mini display for all sorts of Raspberry Pi projects. In this project, we're going to 3D print an enclosure that fits the Pi A+ and the 2.2" PiTFT perfectly. With this project, we can make a small astrobox that puts our 3D printer on the Wifi Network with ease. The Astroprint image is easy to install and lets us control the printer with any device on the network. Full Tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/3d-printed-2-2-pitft-raspberry-pi-a-plus-enclosure/3d-printing We designed the enclosure in Fusion 360 using sketches that snap fit together with friction, and most of the ports are easily accessible. The parts fit nicely on the Printrbot Simple Metal, and you can pick one up from the Adafruit Shop right now! The Zebra plate from "Print-In-Z" makes removing prints much easier than blue painters tape. It's a game-changer for any 3D printing project. The parts print with no support material at all, taking just under two hours to complete. They came out looking exceptional using CURA with the default settings and slicing profile. All you need to do is solder the socket header to the GPIO pinout on the display. It's a simple process that requires some basic electronics knowledge. It’s much easier if you tack the header to the PCB first, then use a pana-vise to keep it sturdy while you solder. The PiTFT snaps on top of the Raspberry Pi, and a 3D printed spacer keeps the two PCBs in place perfectly. It slides into the case at an angle, and clips on the edges keep them from coming out. Ports line up nicely with the cutouts, and everything just snap fits together. Ninjaflex makes great rubber actuators for the buttons on the Display. They're a perfect fit and add a professional touch to your project. Keep the protective film on until the last step! Then place the cover over the display and press the edges into the case to close it up. Use any 5V battery or power source with a microUSB cable, and now we have our mini astrobox. It's a beautiful piece of engineering that showcases the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi. The PiTFT makes great displays for small Raspberry Pi projects. They're perfect for any DIY project that requires a compact display.
