FLIRC Cover Mount

<p>I have a Pi 3B+ and got a gen2 FLIRC case for it a while back as I loved the passive cooling (at least the idea of it).</p> <p>I've been hemming and hawing about whether to mountn it to the frame or not (whether the weight up top makes a difference) but finally decided to do it. I saw this mount, but I wasn't in love with it:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/2014-flirc-case-mount-for-mk3">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/2014-flirc-case-mount-for-mk3</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3572286">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3572286</a></li> </ul> <p>I also saw this cover, which I liked a bit:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2571763">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2571763</a></li> </ul> <p>So I designed a new "mount" that was a bit of a mix between the two. To be honest, ultimately nothing from the former mount was re-used (except the measurement between the mounting holes), but including it here as it was inspiration.</p> <p>Few quick notes:<br/> This replaces the screwed in cover on the FLIRC case. The cover is extended out a bit for support. It has bars across the bottom for extra support. The bars are cut out to still provide full access to the USB ports, and I think the ethernet can be accessed (though I haven't tried).<br/> I removed the cross bar that goes under the SD card on purpose, because I found that pulling the card out in order to put the case on / take off was a bit annoying.</p>
