3D Printing RaspberryPi cases

Things started when I needed to scratch an itch - I had RPi but no case. But I had 3D printer and material. Eventually 3D design and printing spread to my whole family.

2. info@want3d.fi Want3d.fi Peltokatu 31, 33100 Tampere 02/11/2012 3D Printing RaspberryPi Cases • Process has been educational • Why? Scratch an itch, I needed a case • Got my RPi from QtonPi device program • Learned new tools • Had multiple Ultimakers available at our company • My personal ”Friday project”
3. info@want3d.fi Want3d.fi Peltokatu 31, 33100 Tampere 02/11/2012 Learned a lot • Got familiar repositories filled with ready-made models • Learned to evaluate what I can print with Ultimaker • Learned to seek features in models that make it “unfit” to manufacture • To do design and 3D print does not require hacker skills (common skills enough)
4. info@want3d.fi Want3d.fi Peltokatu 31, 33100 Tampere 02/11/2012 Learned new tools • OpenSCAD (parametric design) • More like fooling around with this • TinkerCAD (online CAD) • 3DTin (online CAD) • More practise with Blender (CAD-ish app) • Not all were needed, but wanted to test different things
5. info@want3d.fi Want3d.fi Peltokatu 31, 33100 Tampere 02/11/2012 “Final” process Find Model Load to Cura Generate Gcode Adjust Ultimaker config Print Print Needed to remove some gcode from cura presets (linux)
6. info@want3d.fi Want3d.fi Peltokatu 31, 33100 Tampere 02/11/2012 Resulted to... • Our family became “3D design & printing” nuts • Kids keep on making more designs • Wife created some “jewelry” models and did some polishing (ear rings and some other stuff) • Multiple RaspberryPi cases in different colors • Found out that 1.01 scale of one particular 3D model works best.
