Path to Programmable - Blog 1 - MiniZed Enclosure

rsc

28 Sep 2018

While waiting for the official training package to arrive, I decided to make a couple of MiniZed enclosures using the 3D printer.

I purchased another MiniZed board so I could have one at home, and one at work

 

Manuel Alejandro Iglesias Abbatemarco designed an enclosure, and I tried to print his design, although the cutouts for fasteners and cooling holes turned out to be a problem.

His files can be found on Hackster here: https://www.hackster.io/mhanuel/minized-linux-tutorial-part-i-e2fa9d

 

So after a few tries at printing his part, I designed my own "ZedBox" with posts instead of holes for fasteners.

The top plate has a 1mm grove around the perimeter to lock it onto the bottom, and the size is designed to have the GPIO pins flush with the top surface.

I left the clear rubber bumpers on the board as spacers.

This ZedBox was printed using translucent PLA material so the LEDs can still be seen with the top installed.

Here are the .STL files if you'd like to print your own.

    Ok - first pass. The encloselure was a tight fit! I also found that my printer bed is a little out of square as the top was slightly out of square with the bottom. cant wait for rev 2 with button access…

    Nice enclosure, Scott! I might print one based on your files for myself as well!

    Nice enclosure.  It would have been nice to leave some holes for the LEDs (although they seem to be able to shine through) and the switch, but still a great job.  Keeping the board safe from accidental shorts and damage is a really good idea.

    I hope that you get a lot of useful knowledge from the courses and project!

    ZedBox V2 will have switch extentions and LED viewports.
