# RemoteRig Hardware Design Pipeline
|

|
||
> Living queue for 3D-printed / physical hardware design work.
|

|
||
## Active / Ready for prototype print
|
||
|
||
### 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.
