DIN Rail Raspberry Holder

thingiverse

Until recently my raspberry Pis where lying around on my desk collecting dust while running. I was looking for a fixture to attatch them to a wooden frame around the desk. The solution was a DIN Rail and some tinkering in sketchup. The results are brackets to screw the rail to the inside of the frame, clamps to - well - clamp something to the rail, a base plate that can take up different holder elements and for the moment a holder with pins which lock into the whole of my raspberry casings. The holder can be rotated in 90 degrees angles within the base plate - so the pi can be attached horizontally or vertically. The holder has a higher infill (80%) to give the pins more stability, the rest is printed with 24 %. The models are are scaled by a factor of 10 as I am using an older version of sketchup that sometimes shows fraction issues when rounding, phasing shapes which leads to broken surfaces and bad slicing. So for the moment you will have to scale down to object in the slicer. I will upload correctly scaled versions in the future. Two clamps are needed to hold the base plate - one of which has to be mirrored over the x-axis. The print doesn't require rafts or supports and the parts should fit together without any post-printing cleanup. If you want to design your own holder versions - I can provide the sketchup file.
