Customizable (sort of) Raspberry Pi Stand

thingiverse

I've had this idea for a while and finally got around to it. I have a Raspberry Pi 4B that I use for testing/dev stuff and wanted a way to display it when not in use. The Pi is attached to a mounting plate using a couple of m2.5 nylon screws/nuts: https://thepihut.com/products/nylon-slotted-cheese-head-screws-m2-5-x-20mm https://thepihut.com/products/nylon-nut-m2-5 https://thepihut.com/products/nylon-spacer-3-2mm-id-x-6mm-od-x-5mm-long The mounting plat slots into the back plate, which is compatble with [Modular Mounting System by HeyVye](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2194278) I've used this stand - [Phone clamp stand by Bwade05](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2967406) It's a bit of a pain to put the Pi into the display until you get used to it, if anyone has any ideas then let me know or if anyone wants to remix this then please go ahead. You may need to print a test peg to make sure it fits, I used a smaller size then needed and just used a bit of glue. I've included the outer ring without any text, and the .SVG file I used to create it. I tried to make this customizable using OpenSCAD but text around a circle is a nightmare to do well. To change the text: - Open Inkscape and open the SVG file. - Edit the text (double click the circle to be able to rotate the text) - When done, select both text items and go to Path > Object to Path - Set the circles to have no fill or stroke - File > Save as > Set Save as Type to 'Plain SVG' - Import that svg and the outer ring into something like tinker cad and do what you want with it I cut the text out from the main ring, printed the text, and then without letting the build plate cool down, switched filament and printed the second object over the top (remember to set z-hop to more then the text height). This way I could get a flush surface with a stock ender 3 v2. You could also just put the text on top and do a filament change on layer height. Drop me a message or leave a comment if you need any help. I used an edited version of the Pi stand from here - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2734975 There are versions for other boards but I moved and extended the legs, so you'll need to edit them to fit.
