Igor Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Very cool! I've got an update on the case situation for the PiHat, I just need to find some time in my schedule to put up new photos and purchasing info. Here are some pics though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you make the srew hole on top a bit wider, so the that the screw-heads fit cleanly to the surface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this but prints don't come out very nice that way. Printing bridged areas is not so simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could use rounded flathead screws as opposed to using screws with a counter sunk head. https://images.app.goo.gl/NQpNKpWJiCsc4DbL8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 The screws I'm using are flat, they are not countersunk. Really don't see an issue with the design... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an issue. But it hurts a little bit the estatic feeling. But, in the end, one should be able to use a small sinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavagePencil Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Hi; I sent mail yesterday but I’m interested in getting one of these. I’d like to start building a Lynx ASM framework similar to what I’ve built on the SMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Got the email, will respond. For @42bs - I've been working on the countersunk version and it's looking nice now. Had some issues with my y-axis belt on the 3D printer though, so had a bit of a delay in getting that fixed (not fun when the ambient temperature in the garage is 32C+) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Ok so the final design of the Raspberry Pi case is done. The screws are countersunk and the printing is nice and crisp. The only concession I had to make is that if you want to replace the SD card, you have to take the case apart - not a big deal I think. I'm starting to get in contact and ship out orders to everyone on the waiting list too. I've got enough components for a batch of around 10 at the moment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Thanks Karri! Took many failed attempts to get it this far. Now I just need to have people confirm if they want these boards, I probably won't be making another batch once the parts run out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Put me up for a programmer + printed box. It can be any colour as long as it is black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Apologies to anyone I've contacted and haven't followed up with. I've been of ill health last couple of weeks and the medications have had some unpleasant side effects. I'm getting back to normal now and will be back in touch and building boards again shortly.

Positron5 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 @Igor, Sorry to hear of you've not been well. Of course you take as much time as you need and we'll wait till normal service is resumed. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Thanks. I've built and sent out a couple of boards and parcels today. Will be building more this week as I'm not interstate for work for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
