Simple Raspberry Pi 3 Mount/Adapter/Bracket

thingiverse

I wanted to create a super fast, basic mount for my Raspberry Pi 3 right away. While there are many great cases and enclosures on Thingiverse already, I was really excited about getting my Pi in place and having fun with it. After doing some quick design work, this is what I came up with - simple, straightforward, and to the point... but it works perfectly and can be printed in less than half an hour! There are two sets of mounting holes: one to secure the bracket to its new home (I mounted mine upside-down) and another set to secure the Pi to the bracket. The first set of holes is countersunk at 82 degrees to accommodate wood screws, the second set is for small machine screws. I'm not sure what type I used, as I just had them laying around from an old television teardown. I think the outside diameter of the threads was about 2.5 mm or so. If you'd like better dimensions, just post a comment and I'll make some accurate measurements. This mount was designed for a Pi 3, but it should also work great with a Pi 2 as well. When mounted, I realized that the overall height of the device could be reduced a bit (maybe another .200"?). If you observe the same thing and it bothers you enough that you'd like to see a change, let me know and I'll edit/repost the .stl file. I hope this is helpful for you!
