PolyPanel Raspberry Pi holder
PolyPanel Raspberry Pi holder

This is a contribution to the PolyPanels design competition.
It's a holder frame for Raspberry Pi 3 model A (on a 2x2 PolyPanel square) and Raspberry Pi 3 model B (on a 3x2 PolyPanel rectangle). Raspberry Pi 2 will fit as well.
[Update 2019-09-05] Panels for Raspberry Pi 4 model B are available now! I have renamed all STL files to indicate which Pi generation and model they're designed for. [/Update]
RasPi boards are inserted and released without tools, with the help of a meander spring in the base plate.
If you need higher mechanical stability of the base plate, then choose the STL files with stiffening bars (with "bar" in the file name).
The design has been made in OpenSCAD. My first attempts using the PolyPanel design library by Jason Kronz have always generated STL errrors.
The current 3D files use imported PolyPanel snaps from https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-polypanels-snaps-only-89595
More versions of this Raspberry Pi holder design can be found on http://bastelstube.rocci.net/projects/MBS30_RasPi-Halter/RasPi-Halter.html
If your printer doesn't allow designs as large as 140 mm, you can try out my holder for the Raspberry Pi Model B on a 2x2 PolyPanel square. This one has the Raspberry Pi pushed to the edge of the panel as far as possible. As a consequence, the PolyPanel frame had to be cut open for the moving part of the Pi holder hooks. The PolyPanel snaps have been removed at this place as well.

The hooks on top of the board holders and the grip bar on the moving holder need a little support, I couldn't do without it.
The specified weight of 14 grams + printing time of 7½ hours applies for PolyPanel_RasPi-A_flat.stl (the part shown in the photographs) in high printing quality.
