Description

I created this mounting system (WIP) for miscellaneous usage.

 

Mounting Plate:

  • The mounting plate is 2U high and has 3mm holes for BT3/M3 screws. 
  • Strong and shouldn't normally flex too much.
  • Standard 10" rack dimensions, so should fit on any 10" rack system.

Pi5 Geekworm X1004 Caddy:

  • Perfect fit, use M2.5 screws to mount Pi5 and a couple of standoffs.
  • Watch out for the screw head sticking out (will fix eventually, but is generally not a problem).

Pi4 PiKVM Caddy:

  • Designed for Pi4 + Waveshare HDMI-CSI + USB C breakout.
  • Uses BT3, BT2.5 screws.
  • Uses USB C breakouts for HID and Power.
  • Check out the image for wiring.

(Bonus) 1U Shelf for Cudy 2.5G Switch and M5Stack Mini DIN Meter:

  • Use M3 screws to secure the switch to the shelf.
  • DIN Meter can be simply snap-fit using the orange mounting ring it comes with.

 

Printing Notes:

  • Print all caddies facing down, supports not necessary.
  • You can use 0.28mm layers since we don't see anything but the bottom face.
  • Specifically for the mounting plate, having 4+ perimeters is good. 30% gyroid infill is ample.
  • If you have multi-material printer/AMS you can optionally paint the PiKVM logo.
  • If you don't have self-threading BT screws, use M2.5/3 screws with nuts on the other side. Also most screws are resisting orthogonal force so even if the M3 screw isn't super tight you won't have much issues.

 

I use 90deg USB C connectors to ensure the cables don't extend past 2U limits, but it may be necessary to leave a few cm space below.

 

Since this is a work in progress you may want to change some hole position or front plate size, hence I've included the f360 file.
