Model Fridge for Salesforce IoT Electric Imp Developer Board

thingiverse

This Fridge has a working hinge that securely holds the IoT Developer Board from Electric Imp, complete with full instructions on how to create an IoT Fridge Monitoring Project using Salesforce IoT. The Fridge and Commercial Cooler were designed to hold the Electric Imp impExplored Developer Board for individuals working on the Salesforce Trailhead used at Dreamforce 2017. The print allows the LED status from the impExplorer to be seen through the door, making it perfect for discussing IoT. I have posted several different versions of this project. It was created in Fusion 360, and I've also shared those files, but they may appear a bit crude since I'm still learning the tool. The Cooler is more square, representing industrial or commercial refrigerators, and I suggest adding an image to the front. The models with the Salesforce Logo are slightly more advanced around the hinges, allowing the door to open further, but I've included the 'plain' model for those who don't want my branding. The images showcase what it looks like in several scenarios as well as the Salesforce IoT Orchestration in the background. Please check out the Trailhead to build the IoT Project around this model: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/projects/workshop-electric-imp. Both fridges were designed to be proportional but compact. The 'freezer space' was added to allow you to incorporate a heatsink to cool down the space, but it's not necessary. You can use plastic ice-cubes, a roll of coins, or Halloween mini-chocolate bars that have been frozen. (Don't use real ice! And watch for condensation, which may impact your electronics.) The Commercial Cooler is more square and intended to have an image glued on the front to resemble the product you desire. The hinges are set up to take a piece of filament as the pin that holds the hinge together. When putting the filament in for the shaft of the hinge, cut it about 1/3 inches (1cm) too long, then use a soldering iron to melt the tip down and keep it secured in place. However, be sure to check how it opens before melting it in place. It should easily open to 90 degrees, but if you want it to open a bit further (depending on which one you print), you can slightly file down the area around the hinge. I didn't want it to be too open around the hinge, but depending on your use, you can get it to open just a bit wider with some filing. Everything should print fine without any support and at 100%.
