3D model description

I've designed this case put it outside with my Raspberry PI Zero 2 W running a Machine Learning model to discovery the cat that's making my garden its toilet.

It takes inspiration from the NatureBytes case - that I love - but it is not the same.

It has support for a tripod so it can stand. On the back there's space for a 10400 mAh battery. On the front, holes for a Adafruit 1000c power boost, and 2 types of Raspberry PI.

The cover has a hole for a camera and support to screw it in place. You can use a plastic dome to protect the camera from the elements. The diameter should be between 38/40mm

To assemble it:

  • Print all the parts. I've printed them with ABS.
  • The seal should be printed with flexible filament.
  • Use 4x M5x35mm Allen screws to screw the cover and the bottom.
  • Print 2x latch .

Use threaded inserts to secure the screws.

  • 4x M2x3.6mm for the camera
  • 4x M3x4.8mm to secure the screws for the RPi support
  • 1x M6x12.7mm to secure the tripod.

Use nylon (or brass) M2.5 hex spacer standoffs for the Raspberry PI's and Adafruit's power boost 1000c.

In the spacer hole, you can fit a 14mm diameter round button.

On the back, there's a hole inside a square that you can glue a rubber square and have some wires passing there from/to outside protected.

I've printed it using ABS, but PET-G should also be enough to withstand the outdoors.

I've designed it using FreeCAD on Linux.
