Robo3d Raspberry Pi Mount with Outlet by kengeer

I recently started playing around with Octoprint and I found out that I love it. I wanted to permanently mount a Raspberry Pi 3 to my printer to control it wirelessly, while powering everything from one power source. After many hours of figuring out the best location, I came up with a solution that works for me. I also decided that I would use Octoprint to turn the printer on and off, so I added two relay mounts (one for the power and another for LED's). I can still kill all the power with the main switch on the back of the Robo3d, since I don't always want it on. Anyways I hope you like it and it can work for you.
I made some changes to the mount after I printed mine, but the measurements are still the same. I also had to drill 4 holes into my Robo3D and I used laptop screws to secure it. Only the top two usb ports will be accessible.
Please note that you are working with A/C currents and must be extremely careful. If you do not know what you are doing then get someone that does. Always unplug the main power before attempting to make any changes.

There have been a lot of changes with Octoprint and the info needs to be updated. When I get a chance I really need to extend the mounts for the Pi and flip it over so the SD card is more accessible. On the occasions that I have had to flash the micro sd card it has been a pain getting it back in. I have not really modified this because it has been working pretty well.
