Update: Added a spacer top for 30mm hex bolts.

Overview

This is a way overbuilt Stratux mount designed:

  • to mount on the rear window of a C172, at an angle.
  • to mount with near concrete force with a RAM double suction cup base.
  • to mount with an old EasyAcc 10000 mAh portable battery that I had laying around.
  • to better position the external GPS device VK-162 to be skyward facing.
  • to allow for better (open air) cooling of the PI components.
  • to be assembled using metric bolts and hex nuts.

Assembly

You will need an assortment of metric nuts and bolts:

  • 4x M3-12 bolts for the fan mount.
  • 4x M3-20 bolts to seal the two sides of the battery halves together.
  • 4x M3-22 bolts to mount the Raspberry Pi cover, through the tray, through to the battery cover.
  • Updated! Use included TopOffset/Spacer component to use M3-30 bolts here.
  • 4x M5-12 bolts to mount the GPS bracket, through the RAM mount, through to the battery base tray.
  • 12x M3 hex nuts.
  • 4x M5 hex nuts.

All of the assembly is pretty self explanatory. Make sure when you tighten the Raspberry Pi Tray cover bolts and the GPS bracket bolts, check and double check, and assemble slowly. DO NOT puncture the battery.

Notes:

On the two halves of the battery cover, you may need to support the curved side extrusions depending on your printer tuning.rnrnI used AmazonBasics PETG. Ran out of White PETG after the first print. Went with black for the remaining pieces. However, I would print all white if I could so as to reflect much of the sunlight rather than absorbing the energy.
