Einsy Case Mod (for Prusa MK3 & Pi Zero W) by burghking

Last crawled date: 4 years, 7 months ago
The purpose of this design is to aid the process of installing and updating the Prusa i3 MK3 Einsy board with a directly attached Raspberry Pi Zero W via a rear accessible opening in the case.
I also addressed the following factors in this design:
• A simple removable door that is pressure fit to allow for easy toolless access.
• A small top cutout to allow removal of the RPi micro SD card using needle nose pliers.
• A right-side cutout to accommodate access to the upper USB port on the RPi.
• A left panel cutout to accommodate ribbon cable routing.
• An integrated stationary set of posts to hold the DCI cable extender in place and remove tension.
The case modification presented here is designed to work in conjunction with the Fixed Rear Camera Mount that I developed to attach the Raspberry Pi Camera V2.1 to the rear of the heated bed. See that part here:

In addition to the case mod and the camera mount, a completed solution requires the acquisition or build of the following items:
1x Original Prusa i3 MK3 Printer (https://www.prusa3d.com/)
1x Raspberry Pi Zero W (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3400)
