Adjustable Seidenstrasse Rohrpost Capsule -- I made an adjustable Rohrpost-Capsule for the CCC-Camp 2015 and upcoming CCC-Congresses for use with the Seidenstrasse-RohrpostSystem. The Capsule is adjustable within the scad-file, but not fully parametric due to lack of time remaining to the Camp. Main Features of this Capsule are: Thiner middle area for better movment in tight curves. Integrated and adjustable holes for LED-stripes and cableties to secure them. the "bulky" area on both sides sould be the right size to add velcro on the outside. sliding rails with an endstop to the bottom to insertplates out of plastic, wood or metal, e.G. to mount your favourite electronics to it (the "default" adruino-pcb-width matches exactly between the rails, even thou this is archieved by accident [uno,leonardo, ethernet duemilanove and mega 2560 are fitting in definitely, even 2 boards at the same time] the Rails have been originally desinged to house a raspberry PI, but there was not enought space in the middle of the capsule) screwable design The STLs I provide have slightly more than 200mm (long version) and 160mm (small version), but you can adjust them for your needs. Remixes are very welcome. For more Information of the Seidenstrasse-System visit https://events.ccc.de/camp/2015/wiki/Village:Seidenstrasse See you at the Camp! edit: overall weight including LEDs is about 150 gramms. Instructions important VARS in the scad: h_overall=200; //overall height of the capsule including top, for some reason the final capsule gets slightly higher (5mm or so) mt=3; // thickness of the Material, especially the walls led_pos_t=0; // 3 predefined positions for led-stripes, set to "1" where you want to have some cable_holes=1; // 1=yes, 0=no, Holes for cables, does only apply when ledpos$N is set ziptie_holes=1; // 1=yes, 0=no, Holes for zipties, does only apply when ledpos$N is set insert=1; //1=yes, 0=no, 2 pairs of sliding rails with an offset from the center. Cam-Hole-Vars for the Top are already in the SCAD, but not yet implemented, feel free to do this. I had a 0.35-Nozzle attached to my Printer, so estimated Printing time was about 24 hours, but with a .5 nozzle this would be far less. Prints well on delta-printers ;-) Category: DIY
