Raspberry Pi 4 Case w/ XT60





Description
It happens all too often... myself or one of my friends needs to make an adjustment to an aircraft or quadcopter at the field, and nobody has a laptop on hand. I designed this enclosure to solve that problem with a spare pi4 I had sitting around.
It fits a pi4, XT60E-M, and 5V BEC. The pi runs Trixie OS, is set up as a wifi hotspot with VNC server, and has the common drone configurators installed (Betaflight, iNav, Bluejay, AM32, etc). Just plug in a pack, connect a phone to it's wifi hotspot, fire up the RVNC app, plug your FC in to a USB port, and do your thing. It can also be useful for file transfer in a pinch, when SD cards or air unit storages fill up, and the USB docking station is already full. I designed it thick/rugged to handle field abuse.
Print a top and bottom with supports, using PETG or ABS, no rotation needed. The pi mounts in with 4@ M3x6 bolts, the XT60 uses 2@ M2.5x8 bolts, and the case halves go together using 4@ M3x10 bolts. If you have a sloppy old printer like my A8, some minor trimming may be needed around the ports for a perfect fit. Owners of nicer printers like Bambu should find the fit to be perfect without trimming. There is a spot on the top half where vent holes are absent; this provides a good spot to use VHB tape to secure the BEC.
