Slide in Base for Sneaks' Modular Snap Together Raspberry Pi (4)
Description
This is a Pi 4 base plate for Sneaks' "Modular Snap Together Raspberry Pi 2B/3B/3B+/4 Case w/ OLED & Fan Options" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5180323), which is designed to slide into my Quick Release Latching Mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4936218). You will need to print the other parts for the top and insert using models from Sneaks case which is linked above, this is only a base for the Pi4. The base plate will require the following parts from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4936218: Pi4_Latching_case-5V-MOUNT.stl Pi4_Latching_case-5V-MOUNT-SD-INSERT.stl Pi4_Latching_case-5V-LEVER.stl Pi4_Latching_case-5V-MOUNT-SPRING-DETENT.stl Pi4_Latching_case-5V-MOUNT-SPRING-RETAINER.stl If you need to use the mount with a 2020 rail, see this thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4936850 To build the mount, the following hardware will be required: (1) M3x12mm cap head screw (1) M3 washer (1) M3 locknut (1) spring from a ball point pen I have been using this mount (and another case design) for months and it has worked well. The latching mechanism has not let the Pi go yet and holds it secure but is easy to release. This model is only for the Pi4 base, since that is what I am using. At this time I don't plan to add a base for the 3B but if there is interest let me know and I will consider making one. Printing suggestions: I had some problems with supports so I designed my own for this model. If you use them, I suggest printing the supports (SNEAKS RPi4 Latching Case REMIX-2D-SUPPORTS.stl), as supports in Cura. To do that, import both models and then select the supports only. Go to the left side and find the icon that looks like four boxes and then select "print as support" in the options there. Next select both the supports and the base and then right click > Merge Models. Then when you slice the model, the supports should be printed as supports and you can select the options you want from there. I still had to do some basic cleanup of the support interface on my print (which I admit was not the best since I think I ran the material too hot). I plan to re-print the base to hopefully clean things up a bit with the print (my overhangs were droopy). If I make any optimizations to the included supports, I will update them here, but the supports do work as they are. If you print one, please post a make. If you have questions leave a comment and I will try to assist.
