Atomic Pi Quick Printing Stand Options - Case Alternative
Description
I noticed that a lot of the options for cases for the Atomic Pi take a long time to print. Nothing wrong with that, but sometimes you just want to get something up and running and not spend a day or two printing a case to protect it its vulnerable belly. So I made these as a couple of quick options. One option is a little one piece base with an M shaped brace on the bottom (intended for use with one of the Baby Breakout Boards. I believe it should work with either. The other option is just the pillars without the M shaped brace. There's also an option on the pillars: One type attaches with 3mm screw. The other has a 3mm pin that will stick through the holes in the board that can be (somewhat) secured with 3mm nuts (they will sort of thread on, but don't get super tight). Or possibly could be melted with a hot knife to mushroom the top to hold on. There is also provision for printing flexible feet to pop into the sockets on the bottom of the pillars/the bottom of the M shaped brace. It may take a little experimenting with scaling the feet slightly to get a really secure fit, depending on your print settings and material. You may need to use supports as there are recessed on the bottom for screws/the feet. The full brace model prints in about 3 hours. The pillars print in about 10 minutes each. The feet print in about 4 minutes each (printing really slowly, because flexible). I printed the feet in Sainsmart TPU (95A shore hardness) on my almost completely stock Ender 3. I printed them at 100% scale, they fit securely, but take some twisting and pushing to get seated in. Scaling them down 1% might have made them pop in easier, but not be as secure. You'll need 3 of the **ATOMICstandBEAM(pin)-STL1** and 2 of the **ATOMICstandCUP-STL1** if you're using a baby breakout board. Or 5 of the **ATOMICstandBEAM(pin)-STL1** for an Atomic Pi without the breakout board. The Pillars are 20mm tall without the feed, 22.5 with the feet, but of course could be scaled up in the Z dimension in your slicer.
