Would like to know the dimensions and sizing of components so I can CAD them out and arrange them

...

Calum: @ 2024/09/20

  • Updated the cad to accommodate the new monitor sizing. This involved changing the spacer height, size of the top plate cut and changing the cut that each of corners had.

  • Updated all the parts so they have M3 holes for mounting, the top bezel plate has 1/8 inch self tapping screws that can be found in McMaster Carr: Phillips Rounded Head Screws for Sheet Metal, 18-8 Stainless Steel, Number 6 Size, 1/2" Long | McMaster-Carr (Still need to add the screws to the assembly)

  • Creating the top plate from MDMF in the rapid prototyping shop at waterloo

  • Will need to create 1/4 of the corners with a 3d printer to test if it will fit into the case

  • Still need to add all the spacers in the assembly since the new monitor sizing required changes to their dimensions

How the design works:

  1. Corners will be 3D printed and placed into the case. Hopefully the corners will fit snug into the case and will prevent the monitor from rotating in the y-axis & z-axis. The corners will have holes that are concentric to the cases

  2. the monitor will be placed into the case and will sit on the corners

  3. Spacers will be screw into the top plate, Then the top plate (in blue) will then press against the monitor via spacers and provide force clamping it in the x-axis
