Eleduino Raspberry Pi rainbow case stand

thingiverse

I loved and used rewsiffer's raspberry pi upright mount; http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1263396. I mounted my Raspberry Pi (with a case) to the back of my dresser using it. You can check out the "made" section on this page to see how I utilized it. I have a "rainbow" case from eleduino (http://www.eleduino.com/Rainbow-Case-for-Raspberry-pi-3-model-B-and-Raspberry-pi-2-model-B-Development-Board-p10428.html) that I wanted to put in my other Raspberry Pi. The issue is the screws for the case do not go through the Raspberry Pi mounting holes but around the outside of the case. I had to design a new mounting bracket to allow me to use the case without exposing the raw circuit board. I guess this isn't a true remix of a part since I only used his model as a reference. I didn't actually modify his design, though. I wanted to be able to screw the M3 bolts into the base and not force them in. If you use a M3 tap, you'll be able to create threads in the holes that way you can screw / unscrew the bolts easily. I also created a countersink for the two holes to mount the stand to a surface. That way the heads of the drywall screws sit more flush with the stand. I've included the Fusion 360 file if you want to edit this stand.

I've designed the stand off holes to be 2.5mm so the tap will create good threads. I used M3 x 25mm long bolts to hold the case to the stand. Also, two drywall screws to mount the stand to a surface. How I Designed This I used Fusion 360 and rewsiffer's design (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1263396) as a base to create a new stand for the eleduino rainbow case (http://www.eleduino.com/Rainbow-Case-for-Raspberry-pi-3-model-B-and-Raspberry-pi-2-model-B-Development-Board-p10428.html).
