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.
