Raspberry Pi Aluminum Extrusion Mount

thingiverse

I decided to make it possible to attach a Raspberry Pi running Octoprint to a 2020 aluminum extrusion on my 3D printer frame, and I also wanted to be able to mount a small fan above the Pi along with heat sinks to help with cooling. This is what I came up with! This design is simple to assemble and you probably have all the parts you need just lying around. I used two M4 bolts and T-nuts to secure the mount to my printer's frame, four small wood screws to attach the Pi to the mount, and two M3 screws to hold the two plastic pieces together. I used 6mm M3 screws but the model's holes are quite deep, so you could use up to 10mm if you don't have anything shorter. I also used this fan https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076H3TKBP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I'm currently working on a mount for a four-relay module as well, to control LED lights around my printer. Keep an eye out for that too! In the picture, you might notice that the Pi is mounted to a 2040 extrusion, but this will also work with a 2020. If anyone has any questions, just ask! UPDATE: I've finished working on the mount for the four-relay module and I used it. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3188574 UPDATE: I uploaded a version of this mount without the fan attachment. It's called "Pi_2020_Mount_No_Fan.stl".
