OctoPi Case V-Slot Mount

thingiverse

I'm excited to share this remix of one of my favorite Raspberry Pi cases, tailored specifically for housing my Octopi setup and mounting it securely to my printer. The printer, which utilizes 2020 and 2040 aluminum extrusions, required some modifications to accommodate the v-slots seamlessly. To achieve this, I had to eliminate the existing mounting holes and wings from the case design. Additionally, one of the holes that attached the top to the bottom had to be removed as well. On the flat side of the case, I created recessed spaces for M3 bolts to ensure a secure fit. I also included an M3 t-nut, which can be sourced from Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1073567). To mount the case to the v-slot effectively, you'll need to print two M3 T-Nuts and then press-fit 2 M3 nuts into them. Two M3 x 6mm bolts will also be required for a sturdy connection. Here are the print settings I used: Printer: Reach3D Rafts: No rafts were needed for this project. Supports: I opted to print without supports to achieve a smooth finish. Resolution: The resolution was set to .2mm for optimal detail. Infill: A 25% infill density provided the perfect balance between strength and lightness.
