# nakamochi 3D designs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
at the moment, there's only an FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) design suitable
|
|
|
|
for 3D printing at home in the [fff](fff/) directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
all design sources are made in [freecad](https://freecad.org/) no older than v0.20.
|
|
|
|
a stock installation of freecad should be sufficient but you might want to install
|
|
|
|
[fasteners workbench](https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Fasteners_Workbench) if working on
|
|
|
|
a design assembly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## fff
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the main file is in [fff/provcase.FCStd](fff/provcase.FCStd). "provcase" stands for
|
|
|
|
"provisional case" because it is still unclear whether this will be a final design.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the project contains all the parts to make a full assembly with the following BOM:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [raspberry pi 4 model b](https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/)
|
|
|
|
- [waveshare 4.3inch DSI LCD](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/4.3inch_DSI_LCD)
|
|
|
|
- [joi-it armor "block" heatsink](https://joy-it.net/en/products/RB-AlucaseP4+07)
|
|
|
|
- [sandisk portable 1TB SSD sdssde30-1t00](https://www.westerndigital.com/en-in/products/portable-drives/sandisk-usb-3-2-ssd)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
all object constraints reference an embedded spreadsheet `params` to avoid
|
|
|
|
[topological naming problem](https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Topological_naming_problem).
|
|
|
|
prefer constraining against datum objects instead of faces and other elements produced
|
|
|
|
directly from sketches like pads.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
finally, the [fff/provcase-assembly.FCStd](fff/provcase-assembly.FCStd) file contains
|
|
|
|
an "assembly" group. this is simply a collection of parts composed together to help
|
|
|
|
visualize how and whether all of them fit well together. it links to the provcase.FCStd,
|
|
|
|
so you'll need both files. this assembly group calculates all placement offsets from
|
|
|
|
`asmsheet` spreadsheet. here's how the assembly looks like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
![provisional fff case assembly](fff/provcase-assembly.png)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the "assembly" std part has a custom property "view" with two options: exploded and
|
|
|
|
assembled. the property is configured from the same asmsheet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3D printing the parts

|
|
|
|
|
|
## assets
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
various files are placed in the [assets](assets/) to use in an assembly composition.
|
|
|
|
for example, you'll find a 4.3inch display, raspberry pi 4 and a heatsink in there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
when creating a design assembly, make a new [std part](https://wiki.freecad.org/Std_Part)
|
|
|
|
group and import desired assets into it. if an asset is in a freecad file format,
|
|
|
|
open the file and drag&drop the top level object into the newly created std part.
|
|
|
|
then close the original file ignoring the changes.
