Description

PDF

This is a Pi 4 base plate and latching mount is for Sneaks' “Modular Snap Together Raspberry Pi 2B/3B/3B+/4 Case w/ OLED & Fan Options”.

This only includes the base for Sneak's case (Latching_mount_4D_LATCH_CASE_BASE.stl), so you will need to print the other parts for the top and top insert of Sneaks case using models from Sneaks' case which is also linked above, this thing is only a base and a slide in mount for the Pi4.  There are many remixes for Sneaks case and all the tops should fit this base.

This is updated 11/23/2023.

To print the latching mount, you will need the following parts which are included here:

Latching_mount_4D_LATCH_BASE_MICROSD.stl
Latching_mount_4D_LATCH_BASE_SPRINGRETAINER.stl
Latching_mount_4D_LATCH_BASE_LEVER-LOCK.stl
Latching_mount_4D_LATCH_BASE_LEVER.stl
Latching_mount_4D_LATCH_BASE_WALL.stl

There is also an optional 2020 mount base, which uses the following parts:

Latching_mount_4D_LATCH_BASE_2020.stl

Latching_mount_4D_LATCH_BASE_2020_PLATE.stl

 

To build the mount, the following hardware will be required:

(1) M3x12mm cap head screw
(1) M3 washer
(1) M3 locknut
(1) spring from a ball point pen

If using the 2020 T-Slot Version, the following are also needed to mount the plate to the bottom of the mount:

(4) M3x10mm Flat Head Screws

I have been using this mount (and another case design) for months and it has worked well, but over time it loosened, so I redesigned the case base to make the dovetail and latch tighter (the updated design is version 4D). 

Printing suggestions:
Print the case base using supports.  The parts will need to be oriented for printing.  Due to the close fitting parts, I recommend calibrating the flow or pressure advance for your filament.  

 

This mount will also work with the following remixed bases for Malolo's Snap Together Cases:

 Raspberry Pi 4 Quick Release Latching Mount (Remix of Malolo's screw-less Pi 4 Case) - with STEP file

 

If you print one, please post a make. If you have questions leave a comment and I will try to assist.

If you like this thing, please like it or download it (which helps to get me closer to my first free spool of Prusament).  Or you can check out my site, to see what other projects are in the works.
