+
+### Tripod electronics case v3
+
+**Status:** STL generated and validated watertight.
+
+**Files:**
+- `hardware/case/tripod-case-v3.scad`
+- `hardware/case/case-body-v3.stl`
+- `hardware/case/case-lid-v3.stl`
+- `hardware/case/tripod-clamp-v3.stl`
+- `hardware/case/full-case-preview-v3.stl`
+
+**Design notes:**
+- Holds ESP32 + ESP8266 stack.
+- Screw-on lid with vent slots.
+- Rear dovetail-style rail/socket interface.
+- Separate screw-tightened tripod clamp sized around a 35 mm stand/pole.
+- Clamp uses M3 hardware: one M3 screw across the clamp mouth, with an M3 nut trap.
+
+**Prototype questions:**
+- Does the clamp close enough on smaller tripod legs, or do we need swappable inserts?
+- Does the dovetail hold under vibration without a retention screw?
+- Are USB/LED/UART cutouts in the correct orientation for the actual boards?

+### 10.1-inch touchscreen + Raspberry Pi Zero case
+
+**Status:** Specific display identified; mechanical measurements needed before CAD.
+
+**Goal:** A printable enclosure for the RemoteRig hub/control panel using a 10.1-inch touchscreen and Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero 2 W.
+
+**Display target:**
+- Vendor/model: HZWDONE Raspberry Pi Screen 10.1" Touchscreen
+- Resolution: 1024×600
+- Interface: HDMI portable monitor
+- Mounting: includes fixing holes
+- Compatibility listing: Raspberry Pi 5/4/3B/B+ and Windows 11/10/8
+
+**Initial assumptions to validate:**
+- 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.
+
+**Required measurements before CAD:**
+- Product link or datasheet for the exact HZWDONE 10.1" variant.
+- Screen/PCB outer dimensions: width, height, thickness.
+- Active display opening dimensions.
+- Fixing-hole locations, hole diameter, and screw size.
+- Connector locations/orientation for HDMI, USB touch, and power.
+- Whether the driver/controller board is integrated with the display PCB or separate.
+- Pi Zero orientation, port access requirements, and whether GPIO/header must remain accessible.
+- Power connector position and desired cable routing.
+- Mounting preference: desktop kickstand, tripod clamp, VESA-style holes, handle, or combination.
+
+**Proposed design approach:**
+1. Create `hardware/display-case/`.
+2. Build a parametric OpenSCAD model with measured display/Pi dimensions.
+3. Split into printable parts: front bezel, rear shell, Pi/controller tray, optional stand/tripod mount.
+4. Validate STLs with OpenSCAD + trimesh.
+5. Upload generated STL/SCAD artifacts to Seafile.
