PiSugar 3 Plus - Pi 4 Automotive Case

thingiverse

This is a remix of the original PiSugar 3 case from the manufacturer's files: https://github.com/PiSugar/PiSugar/tree/master/model_proI use a Pi 4 with a PiSugar UPS for the digital dash in a race car. I modified this case to also house an on board 12v power supply like this one: https://a.co/d/73jazKdAfter some trial and error, I determined that the buttons in the original design were just too flimsy to work in a car environment, so I took advantage of the pi sugar solder pads, and added a button through the case to use for shut down. This is the button the case is designed for. https://a.co/d/0LVEYdLThe original design has slide-in panels for the various models of Pi and PiSugar. In real life, these were just too flimsy, and often broke during assembly. This model has the panels integrated for a PiSugar 3 Plus, and a Raspberry Pi 4. If you're using a different combination, this design will not work for you. The ports around the Micro HDMI jacks were enlarged to clear the body of the right angle cables I was using. The walls of the shell have been thickened to provide additional strength, and the fan mounting has been moved to accommodate the bracket designed to mount this to a roll bar. This actually clears heat sinks better and allows the fan to be mounted on the bottom side of the cover (inside the enclosure), rather than the top. The top cover is embossed with my race team logo. That can easily be removed in any cad software. I added some strips of neoprene foam between the power supply and the bottom, and between the power supply hold down and the power supply itself. The holes are sized for 2.5MM hardware to hold down the power supply. Cad files to be included soon in Autodesk Fusion format.
