thingiverse

This is still a work in progress, so please check back for changes. Updates are made frequently. 16/3/17 - RPI Power/LED Schematics have been updated. The original work behind this design is based on Josh Kiepert's 40 node cluster (https://bitbucket.org/jkiepert/rpicluster). Flickr photos can be found in the following album: https://flic.kr/s/aHsknSJ957. Description: This is a laser-cut acrylic enclosure designed for a 16 Node Raspberry Pi model 2 Model B Cluster with the master node being a Raspberry Pi and touch screen. The DXF file for this design can be downloaded from the provided area. Future upgrades are possible by replacing side panels and then adding additional RaspberryPi's, increasing cluster capacity to 32 nodes. Remaining tasks include: 1. Part list completion 2. New PCB Design development 3. Detailed Instructions creation 4. LCD Stand design 5. 3D Printed Files upload To create the enclosure, follow these steps: Cutting Instructions: * Two pieces of 3mm Acrylic need to be cut for the bottom panel. * Two additional pieces of 3mm Acrylic should be cut for the side panels. It is essential that kerf on joints is carefully considered during cutting. Additional information can be found in the Cutting Documentation provided in two downloadable PDF files located in the download area. Printing Requirements: Eight Grommet Nuts (available as an STL file from the Files area) are required for completion of the project.
