mintyPi 3D-Printed Parts

[dryja123]

Any chance you'll provide STLS? Can't really spare $100 on this project and half that cost is the 3d printed parts.

Wermy covered this 2 posts before you. Wermy will release the STL files at a later date.

wermy , I ordered the teal and I really like the button colors you used with the teal. Could you tell me where you got them? Thanks!

If you can't find them for sale by themselves, one option is to buy a full DSL shell that includes them. It's a few bucks more, but you can find a lot more colors: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Repair-Par ... SwSlBYsSdd

I think you should also sell the altoids tin because for example here in Europe it is quite hard to get them.

Please let me know if incorrect but all else needed for completion is:
1. Pi board (duh)
2. 5V USB soundcard
3. 20mm speaker
4. Battery
5. PowerBoost charger
6. Power switch
Was going through the forums collecting what I saw.
Thanks for all the work you all do!!!

Hi Wermy, I want to thank you and Helder for the amount of time you guys have invested in this project. Its amazing! Seeing it all come together! Question, I'd like to know if you managed to fit a beefier battery inside the mintyPi aside from the 1200mAh battery you have listed, just curious.

Thanks. If you put the taller battery in there, you end up having the start/select buttons press against the screen bezel so it doesn't quite close all the way and you can hear them click with the slightest bit of pressure. It's really really close but a no go, I'm afraid. If you could find a thinner battery with roughly the same footprint it may work (maybe an 1800mAh or something? Tons of batteries on amazon, I haven't dug through them thoroughly yet).
That said, if you use the microLipo in stead of the powerboost, you'll get about 3 hours even with wifi on, with the 1200mAh battery. Not too shabby in my book.

Plus, if you use a huge battery, there won't be any room for the dual analog sticks, Raspberry Pi 3 upgrade, and four port USB hub.

Hey guys,
I'm taking pre-orders for the 3D-printed parts to put together the mintyPi project! I have both the 2.4" screen versions for the sets that Helder is selling, as well as 2.2" versions if you happened to get ahold of the 2.2" screen I was using early on and are happy with that size.

The main kit comes with all 3D-printed parts you need for the case, including the necessary screws:

Colors available are Peppermint (red), Spearmint (green), Cinnamon (maroon) and Wintergreen (teal):
(the image below shows an older version of the models, which didn't have the logo yet)

The colored parts are printed in PLA from Push Plastic, and the black parts (which need to be tougher) are printed in a polycarbonate/PBT blend also from Push Plastic (they may look a little rougher, but they are covered by the colored pieces).

I'm aiming to ship these out around the same time that Helder starts shipping his sets in a few weeks.

Price is $30 + shipping/paypal fees (this covers your paypal buyer protection). I looked at services like Shapeways, and they were asking for upwards of $40 for the whole set, so that price wasn't pulled from thin air. These take several prints from multiple types of filament, so they take quite a bit of effort to put together!

I'll have a guide up soon showing up to assemble everything.

There may be a bit of sanding/filing required on a couple spots to make them feel nice with your buttons! There is an annoying amount of variability in radius between button sets from different manufacturers, so if they are too narrow for your buttons you may need to sand the button holes out a bit, and the button wells may need a bit of filing to keep the buttons from catching on them. It only takes a few minutes, and isn't always necessary, I just wanted to make sure to point it out. I'll show how to do it in the video guide soon.

Paypal buttons are over on the market:

Edit: Fixed the market link.

Will you release the file to make the prints themselves?
