RaspberryPI 3 - fan mount, 2.5", Octopi , Ender 5

thingiverse

Yet another Raspberry Pi Case. Will be adding more mounting options shortly. Project initiated as an Odroid C4 case with three 2.5-inch drives attached. The Raspberry Pi might not have enough power to run three spinning drives, but it may be possible to run RAID 5 with SSDs. I haven't tested this yet, so I'm eager to see if anyone uses these enclosures to run a three-drive setup. I've had some success using a heavier USB cable supply that can supply at least two amps. You will need four short M3 screws for the board (apologies for the fact that you'll have to widen the holes in the pi to 3mm because they are drilled to 2.4; it's also okay to just leave them out), and four longer M3 screws or Cap Screws for the cover. For Octopi, use the 2020 lid and the no mounts base. On an Ender-5, try rotating the X-axis stepper 180 degrees and run the cables up from the front rather than from the back of the frame. The Pi case sits tucked away above the control panel, and the cables will naturally roll up to the x-Axis gantry. If you want to add a hard drive, use the HD lid + base, with the HD base from my Raid enclosure bits. Allows for a 40mm or 50mm or 60mm fan. The 60mm fan in the picture is just a prop.
