Raspberry Pi Case Mount for FolgerTech FT-5

thingiverse

I use my Raspberry Pi 3 to control multiple 3D printers, but I wanted it portable so I could take it anywhere without being tied down by a power cord. This led me to explore the battery-powered option with a 7" Raspi screen found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1503651. After building the FolgerTech FT-5, I encountered difficulty finding an easy way to mount the heavy case and attached camera due to the high build surface. This challenge led me to create a simple bracket that slides over the electronics cabinet of the FT-5, preventing the Raspi case from being knocked off and positioning it at a sufficient height. With a long ribbon cable, I can now mount the camera on the top rail. This mount will be featured in another 'thing'. I'm attaching both the STL file and 123D Design file so you can customize or modify them to fit your needs (radii, etc.). I also realized that accessing the USB ports on the Raspberry Pi might be necessary if using a dongle or connecting it to the FT-5's USB port. Therefore, I've provided a modified version with access to these ports.
