3D model description

This is a mount for holding a GreaseWeazle F7 v3 in an enclosure. Looking at pictures I think it may fit the F7 v1&2 as well however I do not know. I would love to hear from anyone who tries or is familar with the various PCB form factors well enough to be sure.

The GreaseWeazle PCB slides into a slot. One side is open, the other side has just enough lip to stop the PCB from sliding further without blocking access to the connectors on the PCB. It is intended to slide it in so that the end with the floppy connectors hits this lip. Then it is mounted in the enclosure with the PCB sticking out the open end pressed against the back wall with a hole for the USB connection lined up with the connector.

I designed this to fit in a particular old external CD-ROM enclosure which I had. The holes are wide and the wings are thick because it is meant to actually slide over the existing PCB standoffs in my enclosure. However, it could probably be used in other enclosures by just drilling holes accordingly and running long screws with washers.

My enclosure had a little lip on the bottom. Rather than add a recess for this lip I just made the mount a little short so the PCB does stick out the end. It still feels very secure and should not be a problem, even if used with an enclosure that does not have a lip.

I have included the OpenSCAD source if anyone would like to modify it for other PCBs or different enclosures. It is partially parametric, I started it with the idea of creating a generic PCB mount however I sort of gave that up when I decided to match the existing standoffs in the enclosure. I may revisit this as a more generic, parametric second project.
