All Features :
The DevTop is completely Flexible in its design, and is pretty much just a final "Rough Draft"
Its meant to be something that has the needed dimensions already there, with tested clearance for the items listed in the build above, and is ready to be redesigned and reshaped or enclosed to your hearts desire!

The design STLs include the Hinge as an individual printable part, that can be bonded or glued to any screen you require, or imported back into Sketchup and added directly into your designs.

The SoC can be mounted front to back or side to side. Depending on Port Placement and User Need.

EASY PRINT... This unit was created with ease of printing in mind. The 2 halves are built to be glued or bonded together after printing, and the Screen prints in one piece. Those 3 Pieces are all that is "Required" to get the Devtop up and running. The Project Plates and LED eyes are Optional.

Hinges are made with a "Tight" Tolerance, to provide a slight tension after inserting the M3 Screws. This allows the screen to hold open or shut, without springs or latches. Just keep the screws Snug.

Hinge is made to bond the 2 Halves together. providing a greater support for larger screens. (10 - 13.1")

Led (Eyes) that Light up with the Monitor Switch or External Switch)

Space Under Keyboard for a Flat 12v AA Battery Pack.

Built in Speakers with USB Power.

2.5" Hdd/SDD/Msata Mounting Tabs (Over Battery)

4 Port Internal USB 2.0 Hub for extra connectivity.

Layback Grooves on the Hinge Backs, allow for an Extra 10 Degrees of Back tilt on the Screen. Make the Monitor Hinge Mounting holes "Taller" for a greater layback.

Open Chassis for Easy Access for Wiring and Cables to Robotics projects, or any other non-chassis mounted project or peripheral.

ALL Sketchup Drawings and STLs are Included. (Showing Progression)
Get the Latest Version of the Monitor, Left and Right Sides to build the most recent revision of the unit. Feel Free to modify and Redesign this unit all you like!

ANY Prusa with a build area of 180x180x140+ can print this model. (Currently)

This was created as a useful purpose to all the SoC projects I had half finished, laying around my house.

Now They all have a chassis I can drop them into interchangeably, as needed, while using my old cases, to protect the SoC when not in use.

Or, With the Up-Board that is soon to ship out, You can have a Ready and waiting Netbook Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 Netbook/Laptop at your disposal as a part of your SoC Arsenal! :-D (Nerd-Gasm!)

For Quick changes and Someone who moves through a lot of electronics projects, I find this unit to be almost a necessity. With enough Flexibility to make it Truly Useful!

A place for Everything, EVERYTHING in its PLACE!

:-P

Enjoy!

Doesn't Matter

.12mm - .20mm Layers .4MM nozzle

35-60% for Mounting Post Strength

Printing under 30% will make weak Mounting posts that break off with ease and cannot be tapped for a screw to be inserted. At that infill, they simply twist right off the model.

Trim the Brim Neatly from all parts. Try to be as Even as possible. The seam will show a lot otherwise.

Glue the 2 halves together by standing them up on a table, one atop the other. This creates just enough pressure to bond them with Superglue. Be sure to glue all contacting surfaces between the two halves. A good bond makes it feel like one piece afterwards.

Gently work the hinges down onto the tabs BEFORE allowing the model to Fully dry. This will ensure the hinges are able to fit, and that the glue (Like Gorilla Glue), cannot push the hinges apart while drying/reacting.

Lay down on Plastic Wrap to Completely Dry. As it peels away easily or can be trimmed.

Add the Speakers as Shown. I Used Gorilla Glue here, and Superglue to bond the halves.
Shorten the speaker and USB cables coming from them to fit into the case, making sure they reach the USB sound card or SoC Sound Jack, and the Battery USB Port.

Screw in the SoC of Choice, Solder up a USB power Cable for the SoC to the Battery and your Monitor, Power it all up, and Connect your Rii Keyboard!

Bam... up and Running!
