Raspberry Pi 3 outdoor camera gasket and enclosure
Description
greenlee's Raspberry Pi 3 outdoor camera case is really well designed. The only aspect that I didn't love was the power cable gasket. I had trouble printing it and having it fit in the case. I also thought it didn't provide enough protection to the elements and found that it didn't allow me to insert the micro USB cable I had (even though it was the thinnest and smallest cable I could find). For those reasons, and because I wanted an excuse to do a project in OpenSCAD and use MeshMixer, I decided to redesign the gasket. The gasket itself was designed with OpenSCAD. Since the gasket I designed is taller than the greenlee's version, I also needed to make modifications to the back shell of the enclosure. Those modifications were done in MeshMixer. *Printing Notes* The gasket is meant to be printed with flexible filament. I used TPU which worked great. You'll notice that the gasket prints closed on the end where the cable goes into the enclosure. I made it that way so that I could use a sharp hobby knife to cut a star pattern into the gasket. The modified back shell can be printed in whatever rigid material you want, though I would recommend PETG or Nylon, which fair a lot better in the sun than PLA.
