## DIY version (FFF)
## NERD edition
fused filament fabrication design is suitable for 3D printing at home, located
in the [fff ](fff/ ) directory. the main file is in [fff/provcase.FCStd ](fff/provcase.FCStd ).
"provcase" stands for "provisional case" because it was unclear at the time whether
this would have been the final version.
the project contains all the parts to make a full assembly with the following BOM:
- [raspberry pi 4 model b][rpi4]
- [waveshare 4.3inch DSI LCD][lcd]
- [sandisk portable 1TB SSD sdssde30-1t00][ssd]
- [joi-it armor "block" heatsink ](https://joy-it.net/en/products/RB-AlucaseP4+07 )
- 90 degree angle [USB-C adapter][usbc90deg] 3.1 gen 2, 10Gbps
- adhesive gasket/seal tape for LCD, 1mm thick, 10mm width, L370mm
- 4 adhesive bottom pads
- 4 screws M2.5 L16-18mm for heatsink mount
- 4 spacers 2-4mm thick depending on the heatsink mount screws length
- 3D-printed enclosure main box (look for `box.stl` in releases)
- 3D-printed enclosure side cup (look for `sidecup.stl` in releases)
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 DIY case assembly ](fff/provcase-assembly.png ) | ![complete DIY build ](fff/build.jpg ) |
the "assembly" std part has a custom property "view" with two options: exploded and
assembled. the property is configured from the same asmsheet.
