Frame to mount a Raspberry Pi and a 7 inch touch display side by side.

Normally you would mount your RPi at the back of the the 7inch touch display, but then you'll need to flip the whole setup if your want to use the GPIO ports. I'm a teacher and want my students to work with the RPi a GrovePi, an external keyboard and the 7inch touch display. So I needed a way to mount the RPi and the display side by side. Easy to store in a box and easy to pick it up without breaking the fragile flatcable between the RPi and the display. The display can be attached to the frame by using the small screws that came with the display. I've attached the RPi to the frame with 2.5x16 mm self tapping screws. I've added side stands so you can tilt the display for 30 degrees. You can decide wheter you want to use 2 or 3 of these stands. In the first version ot the frame, on both sides, the stands fitted very snug, but in the middle the fitting was more loose. I've replaced the frame with version 2 so all beams are now 5mm in width. I've not yet printed this version. You can download my Fusion 360 files (perhaps even some other formats) through the following link. https://a360.co/2plsquM
