Pi Sleeve Case Micro USB Support

thingiverse

I have taken various remixes of Walter's original Raspberry Pi Sleeve case (which I absolutely love, that original design is genius) and used them to mount my Raspberry Pi on the back of my printer's frame, keeping everything together at all times as my printer moves around the house quite a bit. The vertical format has one major disadvantage: the Micro USB power cable tends to be pulled down due to gravity, putting strain on the connector. This has happened more than once when I accidentally brushed against it while moving around and pulled out the cable, killing power to the Pi (and my print!). To solve this problem, I designed a simple clip-on support for the Micro USB cable. It's perfect for smaller, slimmer cables, but may not work well with chunky ones. The print is fast and uses little filament, so it's worth trying out! I've included the Fusion 360 file in case you want to modify the bracket to fit your USB cables. At some point, I might tweak the design to add a place for securing the cable with a zip tie, but for now, it's working well enough for me.
