BOB 2.8K - Apache 2800 cyberdeck computer

This is BOB 2.8K an Apache 2800 cyberdeck, short for "bug out box 2800" in theory everything you need to contact survivors and rebuild.  I printed it on a P2S, so I had to chop all the large parts in half.  To turn an ugly seam into a feature, you can print out the orange cosmetic pieces and glue them over the seams.  Be warned this project ended up being way more expensive than I thought and wildly impractical, but totally worth it.  
 

If you want to make something similiar, I've also published the design files for the custom panel and panel mount solution I came up with.  Check my other projects.
 

This is based on the work of z40sw0n (with permission).  I used his case feet and keyboard mount with minimal modification, and borrowed on the aesthetic, but the panel and panel mount are my own design.  His work is featured here: https://github.com/x40sw0n/HardCase/blob/main/



a non-exhaustive list of major parts

1. Raspberry pi 5
2. 10in touchsscreen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XDK2FRR
3. UPS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQC2WNR8   (you'll need 18650s)
4. case fan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ML8NS42
5. I tried to mod the pi for an external antenna and borked it bad enough to just buy this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NPX2X4Z
6. External USB ports https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BDWVFZKH?ref
7. External access for SD (optional) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRCJN4DR  (THIS DIDIN'T WORK)
8. RTL SDR V4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CD7558GT?
9. toggles https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0799LBFNY
10. HDMI Panel Mount https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WJGPQSW
11. Heltec V4
12. M3 Thumbscrews, because I can't leave well enough alone https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZRM6ZYM
13. Watertight USBC charging port https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8GPHX1Z
15. Generic USBC trigger board to provide 20v for the UPS (meaning it can be charged from any old USB PD source) https://www.amazon.com/Dweii-Trigger-Module-Charger-Delivery/dp/B0BY8H5MS1
16. CC/CV power supply module so I don't overcurrent the battery https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F42P23FZ?
17. This Keyboard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0843QVGRK
18. Ethernet panel mount https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y4J9MZ4
19. m3x4 heat set inserts  https://www.amazon.com/Threaded-Inserts-Printing-Embedment-Automotive/dp/B0FDKYTMZ8/
20. I also crammed a generic 4tb 2.5in SSD in there to store odds and ends
21. Long story but the UPS module didn't want to talk to the latest version of rasbian os, so i got this.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093KTM1PS

a few notes from along the way
-power toggles require modified USB cables to switch off the return lines for the SDR and Heltec V4.
-the Rpi will be receiving 5A, But wont see the PD communication telling it that so it will current limit the USB.  You can get around this by editing you boot.txt file, tutorials are abundant.
-the mounting frame is attached to the case with epoxy.
-I added the standalone battery monitor because I had difficulty getting the IC on the UPS to talk to the latest version of Raspbian--someone made a real nice battery widget that just wasn't compatible, hence adding a standalone monitor.
-The UPS I used has no current limiting built in, so if you're charging it from USBC it will just draw the maximum current.  To fix this, I put a power supply in between to give it the specific voltage it wanted and limit the current so I didn't blow up my batteries.
-I had to use a Inrush limiter, because the power supply was toggling on and off.  Your mileage may vary.
-You may see in the pictures I have an audio jack on the front panel.  I put that in before i realized the Pi5 doesn't have audio out.
