Raspi FLIRC case hanger

thingiverse

I wanted a simple way to install my Raspberry Pi (running RetroPie) within my Arcase1Up cabinet, but I needed effortless access to all three sides for cables and the memory card. Once permanently mounted, this accessibility becomes more challenging. I have my Pi housed in a FLIRC aluminum case so I designed a mount that fits that case perfectly, and decided the best option was to create a "hang" mount that would secure it while allowing easy removal. Here's what I came up with - it works fantastically. I can effortlessly lift my Pi (in its case) out of the hanger and swap the memory card or USB cables, then drop it back into the hanger. This setup also lets the aluminum FLIRC case do its heat-sink job without adding another full enclosure. This mount was designed to accommodate the FLIRC case, but should work with any form-fitting case. I created two versions - one for screw mounting and one for double-sided-sticky-tape mounting (which I used for attaching the hanger to my A1Up cab). The back plate is relatively thin (2.5mm) and there's limited clearance inside the hanger, so if you decide to screw-mount it, you'll need screws with a low-profile head so they don't interfere with the case.
