Makerplane Handlebar Case

thingiverse

Case to mount a Makerplane Sunlight Readable Display on 31.8mm bars. Previous case to house the Pi and display was bulky so this is designed to house the display only, in the minimum possible space. It is designed to be as waterproof as possible. The display; http://store.makerplane.org/5-sunlight-readable-touchscreen-hdmi-display-for-raspberry-pi/ There are two versions; one has a down-facing spout that fits a simple glue-in-place tpu gasket for cabling. The other (V3/GX16) has a plain hole for a panel-mount waterproof GX16 aviation connector for the GPIO's. There is a slot in this hole, so that you can pass through an HDMI cable before installing the GX16 connector. Then you can insert the GX16 wedge gasket, which is 1mm higher than the depth of the slot-- when you tighten down the GX16 connector this gasket will press against and seal the HDMI cable in its slot. There are 2 other TPU gaskets for both versions; one for the display bezel, and another for the front/back case seam that I printed by slicing just the first 0.9mm of the front of the case. Though not strictly necessary, I superglued both in place to keep them from moving during installation. The asymmetric bulge provides just enough space for a right angle ribbon HDMI connector e.g. https://www.adafruit.com/product/3549 but should also fit the 180-degree hdmi adapters that come with the display. You will need eight each of M5x0.8mm/14mm bolts, and M5x7mmx6mm thermoset brass inserts; four of each for the main display body, and four for the bar clamps. When printing the back of the case, you will need to add a pause/color change stop at 42.7mm to install two of the thermoset threaded inserts, before printing over them.
