About this print

A bracket that attaches a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 to a Creality Ender 3 printer frame, providing a tidy mounting point for running OctoPrint or similar remote control software. The design includes a cutout for the Raspberry Pi camera and provision for attaching a cooling fan. PETG or PLA are both suitable, with PETG offering slightly better heat resistance near the printer electronics.

Ender 3 Raspberry Pi 2/3 mount
=========================

__It should fit without problem if the printer is calibated. If not please consider to calibrate it, or print 101% scale.__

30mm fan added

THERE IS NOW A 2 RAILS VERSION: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3075921

UPDATED V2
Basically i switched the front and the back, I find it to be stronger.
V2 FILES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH V1

I made this Raspberry Pi mount for the Ender 3 because i didn't want to use screws and I wanted the hole for the RasPi Camera.
Since I'm planning to leave it always on, I decided to put a 40mm fan wich
gives me a temperature drop of 10-15 degrees (during a print it stays at 42 °C with a room temperature of 28 °C).
However I included a version of the top mount without the fan hole in case you don't want it.

This box can be easily slide into the Ender 3 frame as shown in the photo. You only have to remove the 2 screws wich are holding the printer screen.

To design it I used this model of the Raspberry Pi that is incredibly detailed and well built. https://grabcad.com/library/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-reference-design-rpi-raspberrypi-raspberry-pi-solidworks-cad-assembly-1
and this fan https://grabcad.com/library/fan-40-x-40-mm-1

Any suggestion on how to improve it is very welcome.

If you have any doubt, do not hesitate to contact me, I'll try my best to help you.

Printing Ender 3 Raspberry Pi 2/3 mount (UPDATED V2)

For Ender 3 Raspberry Pi 2/3 mount (UPDATED V2) we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
