Orange Pi Lite - Case

thingiverse

A case for Orange Pi Lite is a perfect fit. I use it specifically for OctoPrint. A hole at the top securely holds the antenna in place without needing screws. You can see from the images that the camera interface, GPIO pins, IR receiver and reset button are not usable. You might want to add four legs to the bottom to allow air flow if you do a lot of RAM access, but for OctoPrint it's not necessary at all. Print Settings Printer: Qidi Avatar IV Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm layer height Infill: No Notes: Prints fine with ABS. To get better results, add a 2-5 mm wide and 0.2 mm high border around the two case parts, and rotate the object by 45° for faster printing. How I Designed This I measured the Orange Pi Lite board including connectors and antenna using a caliper. From these measurements, I created a first model of the Orange Pi Lite. Then I designed the case with base and top using the first model as a negative form. To account for inaccuracies in measurement and printing, I created a second model of the Orange Pi Lite with slightly larger connectors based on the first model. Finally, I used this second model as a negative form to design the base and top. It's created in IceSL, which you can download here: https://members.loria.fr/Sylvain.Lefebvre/icesl/. Alternatively, use it online at http://shapeforge.loria.fr/icesl-online/. I generated g-code using slic3r and IceSL, both of which print well. You might want to rotate the top part 180° for better results.
