Decora Rack Mount for Rasperry Pi

thingiverse

Katascope's Quad Raspberry Pi Mount was created specifically for a HOSA PPP-000 19-inch rack panel that unfortunately is no longer available on the market. A similar quad Decora rack panel can be purchased, offering several benefits including the ability to mount Decora outlets, switches, and keystone jack plates in the same panel. You can also acquire panels with one, two, or three Decora configurations as well as ones featuring wire grommets. My design incorporates holes for clear 1.75mm t-glase light pipes, enabling LED indicators from the panel to be visible. Use a 1.75mm drill to carefully enlarge the holes. The light pipe functions adequately; however, it can appear somewhat dim. To ensure smooth operation, use more than the necessary length of t-glase filament and slowly pull it through without causing kinks or bends that limit light transmission. Trimming the ends perfectly square with a razor blade is crucial for optimal performance. The screws provided with the panel securely fasten both the plate and tray to the panel, while M2.5x4 screws hold the Raspberry Pi in place on the tray. Thin washers can be used to align the back LEDs precisely with the center of the t-glase light pipe; however, this may not be necessary.
