Canakit Raspberry Pi 4 Case Holder - 40mm Rail

thingiverse

Mounted holder for Canakit's Raspberry Pi 4 Case onto a 40mm aluminum rail (Ender 3 series). I decided that I liked the case that came with the Canakit Raspberry Pi Starter Kit enough that I didn't want to 3D print another one. However, I don't like the case taking up desk space. This holder is designed to use both slots in a 40mm rail to support a Raspberry Pi in the Canakit case. Warning: the printed rails fit TIGHTLY into the aluminum slots. I found that most of the problem was due to supports that were difficult to remove. This may be an area where an improvement could be made. You will see in the pictures that there was a small layer shift on my print. I assure you that this is not baked into the model. I printed this on on an Ender 3 V2 and layer shifting seems to be a problem on some of these units. One thing that I didn't consider when I created the model is that the power cable extends vertically out of the top of the case in this orientation. I'd prefer the cable not bend so severely.
