Who needs a case? The 3D Printed Mil-Plastic is here
I absolutely hate it when a blog doesn't have a date or has incomplete dates. When was this posted?
Someone else here posted a link to a related post (https://back7.co/home/raspberry-pi-recovery-kit). A "related article" has the title "Project Retrospective: Raspberry Pi Field Unit from 2015". No idea which year this was posted either.
Too much whitespace and too much scrolling.
Does the author of this blog, anywhere, detail which 3d printer was used for these parts ?
Unrelated:
Very happy and satisfied to see Macmaster-Carr store links for several of the parts in the materials list. MC is the best.
EDIT:
In this post[1] the author mentions the Pruse MK3S[2] but I am not sure if that is what is used for all of the projects on the site ...

Hear hear. Ten out of ten for functional and appealing aesthetics. Industrial design is the best kind of design.

This is really excellent. I was recently introduced to ApolloX filament and I'm looking forward to doing some parts for my engine bay.
Tangential, but I have a really hard time finding projects like this to print, Thingiverse is really difficult to filter through the misc bits and bobs to find cool projects.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to discover truly interesting projects to 3D print?
What am I looking at? A 3D-Printed Raspberry Pi case?
Fantastic aesthetic for all their projects. Mil-industrial-retro-future.
Nice. It'd be fun to have a military connector: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Military_connector_specif...
This is awesome! I prototyped a similar device for my (now-zombie) startup targeted at the military market, but I only used regular ABS plastic to print the case. This makes me want to revisit that project....
I wonder if the PETG case is as strong as a pelican. They are well proven pieces of equipment with good market, bring able to 3d print something of equal strength is a game changer.
Forgive my ignorance, what is mil-plastic?
Sidebar: If you scroll down on Android the address bar disappears as expected (which can cause lots of problems for height measurement and other effects but that's another sidebar), however if you click on the hamburger menu and scroll it doesn't, anyone know why?
This is dope. Might make one for myself...
Wonder why separate each fins? Outer frame looks like it can be printed in one go. To allow sanding after print?
My understanding (not having used a new one) is that current RaspberryPis get pretty hot.
Iām sure itās not as hot as a printer head (~200c) but Iād worry it might be enough on the inside of an enclosure made of lower-temp thermoplastic to cause warping.
"Makers asked me over the last year about printing smaller parts for the Raspberry Pi Recovery Kit"
Whatever that is.
"Yes, this is closer to a desk toy than a field computer."
That's disappointing. The boating crowd can't use this.
It's not that hard to get watertight USB connectors.
