pic: 3D printing for bracketry

[sanddrag]

Almost makes me want to run an 8-slot cRio.

I had considered doing something like this last year but we never got around to designing or building it. Looks really cool.

Does the bracket snap in like other modules, or is there other method for securing it?

One of the kids came up with the idea last year, where we elegantly implemented it with electrical tape, but I think it left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. This year we are adding 3d printing to our tools bag, and our wonderful new mentor is an expert in this stuff.

The brackets snap-fit from the outside, He is also creating a bottom plate to keep the DSC from falling down into the cRIO.

In a pinch you can take some soft wood and lightly tap it into the cRio. The wood'll form to the contours of the chassis. (Word of warning - if you go with that, I suggest you put all the rubber caps on unused ports.)

Can you post the .stl file?

Thanks,

I really like this setup, unfortunately no room for a solenoid module.

Someone called the head of science department looking for these files. I promise that they will be posted before the end of build even.
