RaspberryPERK (Pi Emergency and Recovery Kit)

thingiverse

This is my DIY Emergency-and Recovery-kit based on a Raspberry Pi 4 and the official 7" touchscreen. The case was designed and 3D-printed by myself, drawing inspiration from r/cyberDeck and back7.co. Since the price of Pelican cases is extremely high, I chose to create my own design. In the end, the cost difference is hardly noticeable. The kit features many interfaces that can be swapped out for different needs. This modularity was a crucial aspect for me. Here's a link to the Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/g8dlft/raspberry_pi_emergency_and_recoverykit/ The currently used interfaces, accessible on the front panel are: USB3.0 3.5 mm jack Ethernet Camera SD/microSD reader Full-size HDMI port 4 mechanical flip switches for turning on display, fans; switching between battery/external power; and one GPIO switch for software-based use 2 USB-C ports for charging the battery or direct external power Additionally, I'm using active cooling that can be turned off/on. I also built a holder for the power supply. On the back is a small hatch for "easy" access to the GPIO and SD card. Unfortunately, these cannot be accessed as easily as intended. The used keyboard is the cheapest one I found on Amazon and does its job. The kit's panels are separated into multiple parts because my 3D printer has a relatively small bed. This is why there are so many screws. The little bumps on the front-panel in the top left and right corners are cases for magnets that should hold together the keyboard-cover and the frontpanel. However, this system didn't work as well as I expected it to be, which is why I also secured the panels with zip ties.
