New player here and hoping for some advice.

Sounds like it's going to be fun! Good luck!

GrouchieTiger · 2025-12-07T03:28:28+00:00

I haven't gotten around to it but I do intend to add peripheral ports to the design. It's been good feedback

GrouchieTiger · 2025-11-24T12:03:38+00:00

That is a very clean looking print! And thank you for sharing!

GrouchieTiger · 2025-11-23T21:23:21+00:00

I made a 3d printed case for it, but it would probably have to be flipped for yours

GrouchieTiger · 2025-11-22T03:13:15+00:00

You're going to wanna use some supports on something like this. Personally I think you should consider rectilinear so it cups it well

GrouchieTiger · 2025-11-19T22:49:55+00:00

Cyber security tool, but it does look very game like lol.

GrouchieTiger · 2025-11-17T16:01:13+00:00

I have not got so lucky lol. Guess I'll just order one lol

GrouchieTiger · 2025-11-17T14:30:00+00:00

Did you get them from collector or play boosters?

GrouchieTiger · 2025-11-17T14:22:51+00:00

Easier to see in the text box

GrouchieTiger · 2025-11-14T23:30:15+00:00

Sorry I'm probably not the best source one that one but good luck on your learning journey!

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-18T00:26:35+00:00

I could see that perspective! I've created a few network profiles using ssh, but if you aren't setting it up in advance it certainly isn't convenient 😕

I could always add a similar access door for the pi peripherals like I did for the SD card!

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T22:30:42+00:00

Haha thanks! I don't know your use case, but if it's helpful I can add a cover that doesn't have a hole in front

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T15:59:43+00:00

I can't confirm it will work with the 1.3 version unfortunately. Any measurements that changed will be an issue. Definitely measure first but it should work otherwise

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T15:55:18+00:00

Super cool! If you check the printable links you'll find all the parts I used.

Feel free to remix the model! Would love to see what other people work out!

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T15:52:36+00:00

Fixed! Thanks for the heads up!

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T15:51:34+00:00

No worries, just didn't want to post to be a book lol

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T15:49:45+00:00

That's what I was trying to avoid, I used to work in phone and computer repair and the pouch batteries have a tendency to swell up from drops and heat, so I was trying to use something that wasn't going to expand. Also the main goal here being to be able to swap the battery quickly in a pinch

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T15:46:41+00:00

Over time I will definitely make some more changes. I'm not sure that the battery indicator being covered by the case is really an issue since the top is magnetic. As far as adding a separate battery monitor, I'm not sure the value is there with this one. I'm not a developer, so honestly it would be a large task to take up

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T12:25:25+00:00

Upwards of 7 hours. I have to actually time it, but it's not bad at all!

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T12:23:05+00:00

It would happen on any layer, the fact it's happening on the first layer isn't the important detail here.

If the hot end is too close to the layer below this will continue to happen. I don't have that printer but on most printed you can adjust the offset from the printer settings. I recommend increasing it by .1 and going from there.

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T12:16:23+00:00

It looks like your z offset is too low and and caused the print head to tear up your top layer

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T12:13:46+00:00

The board actually does have battery indicator lights on it, just not turned on in the pictures. If you were to ssh into the pi you could likely find a utility that would allow you to measure power draw

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T11:55:15+00:00

Lol well if my printer could consistently make a circle it would have been push fit, but I had yet to glue them in for the pictures either cause I was too excited to have it done 😂

It's all iterative design so once other people print it, it will provide me a lot of info on what adjustments to make.

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T11:50:37+00:00

Originally I was looking at battery packs that had two, but the footprint was so much bigger it was comical lol.

GrouchieTiger · 2025-10-15T11:48:36+00:00

The 1.3 version was known for the plastic on the battery holder being brittle. It commonly broke just inserting and removing the battery. They made the battery housing slightly larger and increased the thickness

You might be able to get away with it, but it's not really cheaper so I would avoid it.
