Ceiling Mount for RaspberryPi (3D Printable model)

18 Oct 2020

Just a quick post. I created this simple mount for a RaspberryPi that goes on the ceiling. It has a removable 'globe' to access the Pi. It is about 200 mm across and can be printed on many 3D Printers.

 

If anyone is building a project which involves mounting a Pi up on the ceiling, this may be of interest.

 

The 'base' mounts directly to the ceiling and has a large hole to pass cables. There is access to swap micro SD cards. This would require a 90° adapter for the MicroUSB if powering from that port (consider adding a PoE hat).

 

There should be plenty of room for adding hats on the Pi; and there are also holes around the globe for things like wire pass-through and (potentially) adding ambient lighting to illuminate the ceiling.

    Why yes it does! the great thing is that once you have 10 of these installed, it takes two weeks to find the one that is beeping!

    Very nice build!  I am wondering if like smoke alarms, is this unit going to start beeping in the middle of that night and need the batteries replaced?
