Description

Hexy Raspberry Pi 2 Model B case, with lots of hexy octo-vents. Connectors and SD card openings, except expansion header and the display header. I didn't need need those for my Astroprint. But wait, there's more! It has attachments to mount this to your OEM Makerbot Replicator 2 arms. I will revise once I get my aluminum arm upgrade, one day. It is the Thing that keeps on giving, you also get a super adjustable camera mount, with adjustability in the Y axis, Z axis and a pan axis. Enough adjustment to keep you away from trouble and still get the shot. I use this for my Astroprint setup. NOTE: Photos show alpha unit. All improvements were added to the design and the beta design is what you download here. The alpha unit works well enough for me, I don't need to print beta. But, if you look a the photos, you will see differences from the design files.

This looks awesome! Can you share any specs for the screws and metal arms you used? [Edit: copied from Thingiverse: You will need some nuts, screws, standoffs and of course a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and Pi Camera 1.3.

The camera mount is simple, just slide it into the slots. It's not a complete camera enclosure, just a simple open mount.

The standoffs need to be 1/4" OD with a #4-40 female on each end. The length needed is about 2.5", but 2" or 3" will work.

The unit is made with a combination of #4-40 x 1/4" and 1/2" socket head caps screws or pan head, and a 4 x #4-40 x 7/8" flat head screws. Don't forget the hex nuts.

You will have to tap a few holes with a #4-40 tap.

When assembled, unit slides on and off the Rep 2 arms with ease. Stays in place while printing.]
