Raspberry Pi cluster horizontal stackable mount

thingiverse

Wanted to create a custom set of small raspberry pi cluster modules with at least four raspberry pis, and potentially more. Frustrated by existing designs that either relied on spacers or assumed vertical packing, which wasn't flexible enough. Wanted something where I could easily add more modules horizontally, with each raspberry pi placed on its edge. Finally designed a solution using joiners that fit snugly together. Added features to secure the modules down with M3 screws or cable ties, including routing cables along the top of the frame for better organization. Download the Fusion360 model here: http://a360.co/29GNrZ1 Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2X Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2 mm layer height Infill: 15% Notes: Designed in Fusion 360. The base, featuring open circles, is intended to sit on the bed of a 3d printer. Printing it vertically might produce better results for the joiners, and could be worth trying. Prints fine without supports. Post-Printing: To secure the raspberry pis to the frame using M3 bolts, I use brass heat-set inserts. These can be found on amazon.com, specifically the M3-0.5, 3.8mm height ones from McMaster Carr: http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/122/3321/=1387na0 They are easy to install with a soldering iron.
