Atomic PI Case using Dell Laptop AC Adapter

prusaprinters

I wanted a small inexpensive computer running windows to run an app (PerfPro CT Smart ) for my CompuTrainer. I also had several Dell laptop AC adapters laying around that should be able to supply the necessary power (output is 19v dc). So I decided to make a case using them. This is still a WIP, but just wanted to post it up if others wanted to try this. What I used 1 x Atomic Pi SBC 2 x LM2596 Buck Converters 1 x power switch (will probably switch this out to a momentary switch) 1 x Dell DC jack (repurposed from a broken Dell E Series docking station) 1 x 80mm PC fan (I used an old SilentX fan salvaged from my old PC) 1 x 3.5" LCD screen (it's a MPI3508 lcd ) 1 x right angle HDMI cable 1 x microUSB power cable 1 x Dell AC Adapter 14 X #8 x 1/2" wood screws (as I had a lot of spares) I still have some other ideas for this, so I will update when I make changes/additions/options. *UPDATE 27FEB2020* Uploaded a Blank Top Plate if you won't be using the LCD. Uploaded the wall with the power jack/switch and Usb port. (Still need to modify it though) Uploaded the Bracket that holds the LCD to the top lid.

Will probably measure and upload it when I get around to it. for the Dell jack, I removed the center pin from it as it is not needed (communication pin between laptop and ac adapter). I'll have to modify the plug side stl when I get a chance, but part of section to hold the jack is a little small so I took it off when I was assembling it. Category: Computer
