3D Printed Mounting Stand for Raspberry Pi 7'' Display

20 Jun 2016

After receiving my package on Friday evening and unboxing all the Raspberry Pi goodies in the element14 brown box .. And after being overcome by happiness ! looking at the awesome Pi 7" display , I knew the first thing that I had to do was to 3D print a holder/Stand for the screen.

So , here you go !! download the 3 STL files attached and 3D print yourself a stand for your Pi 7" screen. The STL file (PlacardPiIOT.stl) is optional which connects the two legs.

And connected at the back of the display is Raspberry Pi B+ .To attach the legs of the stand to the Pi Display you will need 4-40x3/8 screws that you can get at your local hardware store.

All the part above where printed in 1.75 mm PLA and here are some suggested setting silcer settings

Layer height for the legs:0.3 mm
Infill: 20%
Temperature : 205 C (i am using Hatchbox filament, please check you filament manufacture site for your filament )
Printing the 3 Stl files took be about 50 mins..
To paint the letter, you can use Uni Paint markers

Now, once you have loaded the SD card with the latest version of Raspbian Jessie , you will observe that the OS/Desktop loads up side down, with the setup as shown in the pictures above. Basically, you can turn the display ,but I found that adding the power cable and audio cable from the top makes it much easier, as shown in the pictures above.

Now to solve the upside-down issue you need to add the following line to the config.txt file, if you have a wireless keyboard connected open the terminal and run the following command
