Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and Octoprint

This case snaps together around a RaspberryPi Zero,Pi Zero W, orPi Zero W 2 and stays closed while allowing heat dissipation and port access.

And this is a perfect case and mounting bracket for anyone who wants to add Octoprint to their 3D Printer on the cheap. \nOctoprint now officially supports the*Raspberry Pi Zero W 2* so I bought one and designed this stylish and simply functional case and bracket to add it to my 3D Printer.

Parts

There are 3 basic pieces:

Case Base (this holds the RPi_0)
Case Lid (obv)
Case Bracket (this allows you to mount directly to your printer)

Base Options

The original case in the pictures has clearance for standard heat sinks and port openings for the Micro USB and Micro SD card slot only.

There are two more versions of the case base included for those using different hardware:

Case Base w/ Camera port hole
Case Base w/ all port holes

Bracket Options

I have an Anycubic i3 Mega S, so I made a Pi bracket that fits perfectly on the front of the y-axis guide rod bracket. It fits over the existing socket head cap screws and the Case Base snaps right onto it.No hardware required!!

Lots of people use an Ender 3 or a clone, so I made a bracket that fits the 40/20 rails used in the base of an Ender 3. This bracket uses 4 M3 flathead screws and T-nuts just to hold the bracket on the printer's base rails. (You can use 3D printed T-nuts like those designed by Trigubovich found here!)

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Anycubic

Printer: \n

All-metal Mega

Rafts:

Supports: \n

Yes

Resolution:

0.2

Infill: \n

Filament:\nPolymaker PETG \n Red, Black

Notes:

The Case Base probably needs supports for the port cutouts.
\nThe AI3M front Bracket prints well on its side with tree supports.\n

Post-Printing

As with any print that goes around electronics, make sure it's string-free before installing your Raspberry Pi Zero

How I Designed This

Solidworks model and lots and lots of prototype prints.
