Raspberry Pi 3 Mini Stand for 7" LCD Touch Display

thingiverse

This is a stand designed specifically for holding the Raspberry Pi 7" LCD Touch screen. Many users know that existing stands often display the image upside-down, which can be resolved by running a specific command in newer Raspbian versions. However, this issue cannot be fully addressed on Ubuntu Mate systems. To solve this problem, I created my own stand to ensure proper orientation without requiring configuration changes. This design offers several benefits during the initial boot process: the display is correctly oriented, making it possible to read the boot information. Additionally, there's a small pocket space near the bottom front for storing your stylus in an organized manner. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2 mm/layer Infill: 20% Notes: Increasing the floor and ceiling to 4 layers results in a cleaner look. However, print settings may vary based on individual printer specifications. Custom supports can be added to the port holes on the CPU box if necessary, as some printers struggle with bridging. Post-Printing: An assembly video is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-aERy8zSjA. To make this stand easy to assemble, I designed it without screws. You'll need to glue the CPU box to the backer-board first (separated to prevent support issues during printing). Then, everything else clips together. To keep the LCD in its proper position, you will require 4 .75cm x .75cm foam or felt cubes (.I used a small stack of felt feet) and 4 additional felt squares that are .25cm thick (1 thickness felt foot pads). Assembly Instructions: 1. Glue the CPU box to the Backer-Board, ensuring it fits into place from the ribbon channel as it is recessed. 2. Assemble the LCD and Raspberry Pi according to the classic method; inverting the board will not work for a low-profile design. 3. Place .75 felt cubes onto the marked indentations on the inside of the backer-board. 4. Insert the assembled LCD/Raspberry Pi into the newly constructed backer-board assembly. 5. Position thinner felt pads on the inside of the bezel in each corner on the sides (refer to pictures). 6. Lower the Bezel over the LCD, ensuring it fits in only one direction. 7. Slide the entire unit into the stand base, which acts as a "clip" to hold the lower part of the housing together. 8. Place the Top-Clip onto the top of the unit, allowing access to the camera mount slot. Note: Before installing the camera, you'll need to first install the ribbon cable onto the Pi and feed it through the slot in the back of the CPU box, as this port will not be accessible from outside.
