Stratux Case for RY836AI

thingiverse

This is a Stratux Case designed to directly mount the RY836 to the top. It's specifically made for a Raspberry Pi 2. The Power and Activity LEDs are positioned differently on the RPi3 model. **Update:** I've added versions for the RPi3, but they're untested. **Update#2**: I revised the design based on feedback. First, I made the case a bit taller to provide extra space for a female Dupont connector and cable routing. I also extended the hex features for the adapters to account for variations in SDRs and adapter sizes. (I made a minor update in v2.1 of the top case to fix interference with the corner peg) I haven't printed it yet, as my current case has a different internal configuration. The fan is a 25mm x 7mm model that runs on 5v. The screws holding the case together are #3-48. I'm not sure which screws to use for attaching the GPS module to the top. I recommend reaming the holes for the LEDs with a drill bit slightly smaller than 1.75mm, then forcing in some tGlase filament and trimming it to size. (As long as the ends are cut square and smooth, tGlase makes an excellent fiber optic light pipe) This design was created for two NooElec NESDR Nano 2's. I removed the IR receivers and installed heat sinks on them. You'll need to trim down the heat sinks so they don't short any components. If you install heat sinks, it will be challenging to fit a WiFi dongle. I created a 4" USB extension with a slim connector (PCB) to place the WiFi dongle in front of the Ethernet port. The MCX SMA adapters were purchased on eBay in December 2015. You might have trouble sourcing the exact ones I used, as they may be different now. The ones I bought were listed under "SMA Female to MCX Male Adapter Connector; US Stock ; Fast Shipping". There are still listings with that title available, so you might be able to find similar ones. However, I don't endorse any eBay sellers. The glare shield mat is intended to be printed in NinjaFlex or a similar grippy flexible filament. (NinjaFlex isn't super grippy, but it works.) I printed this design using Simplify3D with zero bottom solid layers and a honeycomb fill to create a nice pattern on the bottom.
