Einsy Case Mod (for Prusa MK3 & Pi Zero W)

thingiverse

The purpose of this design is to expedite the installation and updating process of the Prusa i3 MK3 Einsy board with a directly attached Raspberry Pi Zero W via a rear accessible opening in the case. I also considered the following factors in this design: • A simple removable door that provides easy toolless access through pressure fitting. • A small top cutout to facilitate removal of the RPi micro SD card using needle nose pliers. • A right-side cutout to accommodate access to the upper USB port on the RPi. • A left panel cutout for ribbon cable routing. • An integrated stationary set of posts to hold the DCI cable extender in place and eliminate tension. The case modification presented here is designed to work in conjunction with the Fixed Rear Camera Mount that I developed to attach the Raspberry Pi Camera V2.1 to the rear of the heated bed.
