3D model description

Katascope's Quad Raspberry Pi Mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2006585) was designed for a HOSA PPP-000 19" inch rack panel. Unfortunately, this panel doesn't seem to be available anymore.

You can get, however a quad Decora rack panel that is very similar. As a bonus, you can also mount Decora outlets, switches, and keystone jack plates in the same panel. You can also get 1, 2 and 3 Decora panels, and ones that have wire grommets as well.

My design includes holes for clear 1.75 t-glase to use as a light pipe, so you can see the LED indicators from the panel. Use a 1.75mm drill (or slightly smaller) to hone out the holes. The light pipe works okay (it's kind of dim, but you can see the lights). I use a longer length of the t-glase filament than needed and then pull through slowly as to not kink or bend the t-glase too much. Any bends or kinks really limit light transmission. Make sure to trim off the ends perfectly square with a razor blade to make a nice, smooth end for light transmission.

The screws that came with the panel force tighten nicely to hold both the plate and the tray to the panel. The Raspberry Pi is held to the tray with M2.5x4 screws. I used some thin washers to help align the back LEDs to the exact center of the t-glase light pipe, but its probably not necessary.
