**Status:** Parametric OpenSCAD source created; body/lid/preview STLs exported and validated watertight. Ready for CAD review, exact part measurement, and first prototype print.
- Visual direction now matches the original green appliance-style reference: tall vertical body, large inset front panel, centered OLED near the upper third, blank middle area, two long rounded lower slots, bottom USB-C female power input, right-side USB-A female passthrough power port for the GoPro, and left-side IPEX/U.FL antenna pigtail/connector exit opposite the USB-A.
- Primary mounting is reusable cloth zip ties / Velcro straps through two low-profile vertical rear brackets with long lateral side-feed openings, not a clamp/dovetail.
- Front-panel screen, LED, rocker, and lower-slot openings are actual through-cuts through the full lid and locating lip so the back side of the printed lid is not skinned over.
- Body includes screw bosses, recessed lid pocket, lid locating geometry, a bottom USB-C female power inlet cutout, a right-side USB-A female passthrough power cutout, a left-side 5.0 mm prototype IPEX/U.FL antenna pigtail/connector through-hole with shallow exterior recess, and two vertical external rear zip-tie/Velcro brackets to resist rotation on a stand. The zip ties feed laterally through long side windows behind the raised bridge faces; the old top-to-bottom feed-through tunnel is intentionally closed by top/bottom anchor pads.
- left-side IPEX/U.FL antenna pigtail/bulkhead exact outside diameter, retention/flange needs, bend radius, strain relief, and whether the current 5.0 mm prototype through-hole plus 8.5 mm shallow exterior recess should change before production.
- prototype rear side-feed opening: ~40 mm long vertical side window × ~3.8 mm strap-thickness clearance behind each raised bridge, with each visible vertical bracket ~8.5 mm wide × 50 mm tall.
Latest validation: OpenSCAD reports `Simple: yes`; trimesh confirms body, lid, preview, and front-review STLs are watertight. Body and lid each export as a single connected printable component; preview includes separate non-print board/connector guide volumes by design. A rear-bracket sanity check confirms both vertical brackets have clear non-solid lateral X-direction side-feed volumes behind the raised bridge faces, while the rear wall, bridge faces, and top/bottom anchor pads remain solid. The left-side IPEX/U.FL antenna hole is a through-wall cut to the interior cavity, not a blind exterior pocket.
**Status:** Historical design reference. In this checkout, previous v3 SCAD/STL files are not present; v4 starts a new `hardware/case/` CAD source set.
- Compute: Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero 2 W mounted behind or below the display.
- Use case: RemoteRig local monitor/control panel at field recording setup.
- Likely needs: front bezel, rear electronics cavity, Pi mounting posts, HDMI/USB/power cable exits, strain relief, ventilation, and optional tripod/stand mounting.
- Because this is a 10.1" panel, design should prioritize rigidity: thicker bezel ribs, rear standoffs, and possibly a two-piece shell instead of a small snap case.
