Electronic Mounts | RPI 5 Case |
Task Description
Design and 3D print a mount for the RPI 5 to secure it on Pegasus 2.0.
Constraints
Constraints | Written By | Append Date |
|---|---|---|
Ports must be accessible (will update with specific ports later) | July 24, 2024 | |
Mounting holes must obey the 30 x 30mm grid pattern | July 24, 2024 | |
RPI 5 will replace the phone that is on Pegasus 1, so it will likely go where the phone is currently | July 24, 2024 |

Created Case
2 Mounting holes that are 58mm apart 💀
Top Case has connections that will mount to the PI and will go through bottom half of case to mount onto drone frame
All Ports are accessible

Totally redesigned the case to accommodate for the fan and just to save on weight focusing on function over design
The design will allow the team to bolt the Pi first to the mount then it can bolt onto the top plate of the Pegasus drone

With 2 sets of holes the mount will bolt the raspberry pi 5 to itself using the outer 4 holes
The outer 4 holes shown closer to the middle of the mount are 30 mm distance x 60 mm distance apart and will connect the mount to the drones top plate
Accommodating for the pins at the bottom of the CAD model for the raspberry pi 5 the holes elevate the Pi 3 mm to provide clearance for these pins and other electrical components
Its important to note that the holes on the raspberry Pi have a diameter of 2.7 which is a bit smaller than M3 (In my model I oversized these holes that mount / are concentric to the Pi
I wasn’t able to find any screws that fit in these holes beside the 2 that are bolted already to the Raspberry Pi
