Well, I found out that my old netbook can’t upload files into the Glowforge UI. I had a raspberry pi 3 still sitting in it’s box, so I set out to hunt down a monitor, mouse, and power supply. Got the OS loaded after some time consuming noob mistakes I won’t bore you with. Signed into WiFi, opened up Glowforge app, loaded part, hit button.
I don’t know why it is so amusing to me to make something for an item, by using that item, but it is awesome. Like the first time you 3D print a part for your 3D printer.
So in review, I needed a computer for my Glowforge, then I made a required case for that computer by using that computer and the Glowforge.
Beautiful!
So you used the Pi to make its own case?! That’s a little too self-aware for me.
Looks like you need the matching wifi hotspot…
Video didn’t post
I have great signal already! Small house, only about 10 feet from WiFi, but I’ll Remember that (again) for later
yeah, for some reason this made me think of ruckers’ wetware too-long-to-finish-ology.
Are the bands for holding while the glue dries, or instead of glue? A much better case then the one I was looking at, it was stacked acrylic and required screws. I need to make cases for couple of B’s and a zero too.
Did you get the file from thingiverse?
The rubber bands are to hold the side panel on. I didn’t want to permanently glue it into the case. Got the file from thingiverse, but the search in the site sucks, google “laser cut raspberry pi 3 case” then look for thingiverse links. I’ll post a link when I get back on the other computer.
Edit: found it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:432969
I was too lazy to make the clips, acrylic cement and a rubber band are more my speed
Nice. I like the wood one you made too!
Nice job! Really like the see-through case!
Amazing that computers have gotten so small that they can hang from a USB cable.
Does the acrylic’s ability to hold a static charge pose any issues?
I never meta pi I didn’t like!
I’m not too worried because I live in the northwet. But if you plan on moving it a lot or have a plastic table (or wear a polyester jumpsuit and like to disco dance), I would make the wood one.
I never heard that, but I was stationed on Whidbey so I get it.
The forests up there are amazing.
