Tachyon in a Pi case

Removed a little plastic from where the inner of the SD-card opening butts up against tachyon's PCB, the separators between the USB/ethernet ports and enlarged around where the hdmi connectors should be. (Tools used: craft knife, small file and 4mm drill bit)

Still need to add something to the inside of the clear plastic button/LED bezel to get it to reach tachyon's button though

Oh, and added 2 x elastic bands :slight_smile:

Looking good Zedstarr!

If you are interested in our 3D cases, check our the earlier versions here:

Happy to send you one for feedback!

Thanks

Happy to receive one for feedback - I just used the Pi case as I had a spare one lying around :wink:

Because the Tachyon needs a bespoke case, I designed one that you can find here on printable if you are interested. It supports a battery holder on the side, the audio adapter board, and an optional PCIe extension board.

I haven’t yet tried all the combination of the case that I uploaded, so please let me know if something does not work as expected.

Hey mkende! Awesome!!

Would you be ok if we added this to the list of 3d print cases (with attribution of course!) here? If so, can you shoot me an email at nick@particle.io - we have a contribution agreement that protects your idea and make sure I've circulated it.

I will give one of these a print tonight and let you know - I really want a battery holder in my case :slight_smile:

Thanks

Nick.

Sure of course you can list them on your website, I’ll send you an email.

I updated the files as previously I didn’t account for the fact that the Pimoroni NVMe board is longer than the Tachyon :frowning:. Now I think that I have tested all the variation and that everything works correctly.
