Prusa I3 MK3 - Pi3 Backpack mod

thingiverse

Recently I wanted to get rid of my Pi0 within my MK3s. I opted to get a Pi3+ as close as possible to the Pi0 mounting directly behind the Einsy, which is exactly what this mod is all about. BETA! Tested but not finished! All ports except USB power in are usable (SDcard removal with pliers, though), and also note that the housing has the revision R1. I might work on this if there is a request. I have an upgraded first gen MK3, so the old cablewraps. What you'll need: Printed parts of this thing, - Original Prusa Mk3 hinges, screws, square nuts and Einsy - 7 M3 heating inserts; I used the 'ruthex' ones but others should work too - 4 DIN912 - M3x6/8 for mounting the Pi - 3 DIN912 - M3x16 for mounting the back housing (be careful with the upper one, as it might hit the Einsy!) - Most importantly, long pinheader extenders like: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07NQ5Z7Y9. Two rows, same amount and positioning as on the Zero spacer. Also you have to isolate at least the LAN and USB ports on the Pi to not short out the Einsy! Pins and positioning are the same as with the Pi0. Have fun and be careful
