MrGadget Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi guys, I ordered the NANO and while I'm waiting I figured, I'll design a nice wall-mount for it :D I was wondering, if it might be possible, to get the detailed dimensions of the NANO or even better, the CAD drawings. it would make it a lot easier to get it right with the correct dimensions :) Cheers MrGadget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Kitchen Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 As Mr-Protocol said, 122 x 47 x 14 mm I wish I still had the STL file from the 3D model we printed while in development. PCBs always get done way before plastics get shot so it was nice to have something. It doesn't look like much but was nice to have something in early dev. Cutout at the top if for the serial. Shouldn't be hard to come up with something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGadget Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 @Mr-Protocol: thx for the link! @Darren: Would be great to have the CAD files for the final case (technical drawings would be good aswell) :-) Looking to make a functional mount that could be printed fast while still providing air circulation to ensure proper function of the NANO. If you don't have the files available, I just need to wait for the NANOs to arrive and the measure it by hand. Cheers MrGadget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Here you go. I adjusted all the holes to the nearest mm, my calipers aren't the best. So the hole sizes should be slightly oversized. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGadget Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 @barry: Awesome job! Thank you very much! Will soon post the first version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGadget Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Finished the first version of the NANO mount. Will adjust all the dimensions, once I get my hands on my NANOs (hopefully tomorrow ). What do you guys think about it? Using double-sided adhesive tape mounted anywhere you want. Thread the NANOs USB-Plug through the hole and press it down, so that the RP-SMA antenna is latched in. Cheers MrGadget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlebacon Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Why does only one side have the "holder" for the antenna jack? Also since it gets pretty hot it might be neat to see a "ominous" case design with a fan Also wall mount with some sort of small fan could be neat if done right .. just throwing out ideas ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGadget Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 @turtlebacon: I figured only one would suffice, will need some testing before :) Good idea adding a fan to the setup! Will be a bit more complex but I'll give it a shot ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hi MrGadget, The mount looks great! I assume that one antenna holder would do, depending on what you have planned for it. In regards to the heat the WiFi Pineapple puts out, you may want to put a couple of bottom cutouts in there, but I don't see this being an issue at all, especially when mounted to walls and not kept in a pocket. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGadget Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 @Seb: Thank you for your kind words! Indeed I planned to add some cutouts in the final version. I guess I will add a bunch of changes, once I have my NANOs. Working on a version with a 15mm fan for active cooling Gruss Gadget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGadget Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I hope not, but who knows, sometimes one just wants to have options ;) here a first sketch with active cooling using a 15mm 5V micro fan: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlebacon Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Looking good! I have a USB hub strapped to my pineapple case right now - wonder if there are any clever ways to integrate a hub clip of some sort into your design. I suppose I could just use 3m adhesive + velcro and attach it to the front of the pineapple... Are you considering making an enclosure for on the go usage?

MrGadget Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 @turtlebacon: thx a lot, I could add some loops so that one could add velcro strips to keep everything in place. otherwise every setup (usb-hub, juice pack) would need a custom case...

Darren Kitchen Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Looks fantastic! Looking forward to seeing how it fits when your NANO arrives. Would love to print one here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlebacon Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Yeah once you are done plz post the files so I can print one as well =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I have a printer in the mail right now, so when I get it built this week I'd like a go at it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGadget Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Ok, so I finished the first "minimal" design. It holds the Nano very well and is Printed out pretty fast ~45 minutes. Will keep working on a more "fancy" one as soon as I find the time. Check out: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1244841 Here a few pics of the mount in action: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What display are you using for your RPi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
