Re: OT: Pi tripod case

[Mike Bonner]

I'm working with some high quality test materials here at home first
(aka,cardboard and foamboard) to figure out what I want, and then will
tackle converting to a model.  As far as the 3d modeling goes, I have a
tiny bit of experience with blender, but know so little I might as well be
starting from scratch. (I did take an autocad 11 class LONG ago)  Tutorials
are in my future I can tell.

Shapeways prints are surprisingly good. I have visited with them previously
at SIGGRAPH, where they showed off prints using different materials and
metals.

You do need to model very carefully and specifically for 3d printing.
Remember how you were warned not to mix up color formats and image
resolutions before sending something to a professional printer - or you will
end up with a major surprise? Same thing or worse with 3D printing.

I'll check out adafruit, I haven't looked there in a while.  I'll also
check servo city to see what kind of things might trigger ideas.

One way to capture a nut?  Give me a project.  Keeps me busy for months.

Re: OT: Pi tripod case

[Mike Bonner]

Yeah, I'm thinking a hex socket to fit the nut (external socket, so full
piece thickness can be maintained for strength) then I have this handy
paste stuff that is used for glass bedding.  I can coat the nut threads to
keep them clear and paste it in.  Having decided to design a case mount
rather than a case, it should be considerably easier now.

Re: OT: Pi tripod case

[dsc]

Do you get stuff from AdaFruit?  They sell a 3/8 to 1/4 adaptor that some 
people screw into a simple tight hole in a 3D design with glue to make a strong 
1/4 thread.  I think you can also do this with some laser cut pieces but with 
acrylic you have to be careful with the hole size because it might crack.  I 
have also seen some press-in (heat or force) for laser milled pieces that I 
have seen described online.  You might need to get those from--arg--that place 
that has all the cool hardware.  You just need to choose material carefully.  

With the laser cutting you can adapt a box design and you would use (say) 
InkScape or Illustrator instead of TinkerCad (for 3D).

Re: OT: Pi tripod case

[Dar Scott]

TinkerCAD even has a thread generator.  It might be able to do the 1/4-20 UNC 
for the tripod.  I'm not sure how strong the threads will be.  

You might want to consider laser milling a modified case design that is 
available to make room for mounting and gluing on a nut.  You can etch the 
surface around the hole to help with gluing and maybe 
to control it.

Re: OT: Pi tripod case

[Mike Bonner]

Hey, that's nifty. And reminds me that I don't have to design a whole case,
I just have to design something that a current pi case can slip into that
has a tripod adapter. (which is easy since its basically a hunk of
something with the right size/thread nut, and a pocket to hold the pi)

I think I'll still go with a 3d print but just making a receptacle that the
pi will fit into with properly placed holes for cabling and tripod nut
brings it back within my fabrication abilities.  (Goes to get out the
dollar tree foam)

I could probably even do something out of metal. (I'm lucky, my dad has a
metal lathe, and recently rebuilt a mill from the ground up, so if I can
figure out what I want, he can help me with the fabrication)

Thanks for the help, I don't know why I was so stuck on having this be an
all integral case. It will actually work much better as a separate unit. (I
can design in a place to mount the external wifi antenna and a shelf for
the battery pack too)

TinkerCAD is a great & free online easy peazy 3D design program.

I made this in about 30 minutes (with no instructions), and printed it on
my 3D printer.

Hi Mike,

You might try:

http://www.shapeways.com 

You can design whatever you want, and they
will 3D print it for you and ship it to you!

Good luck!

Rick
