Raspberry pi Pipboy

[Matthewv1998]

Little update! Nearing my final design of my pip-boy!

Ive added two photos of the frame for the screen with and without the visior. 

The screen frame is made for a 5inch touch screen display as the whole pip-boy is 6 inches long and 5 inches deep, i plan to power the whole devise with a 2.5 amp 5v portable charger (hopefully over 10,000mah) and have windows 10 on it with around 64gb of storage. 

 

 

So lately, being the big fallout geek that i am i wanted to get the anniversary edition of fallout 4 (sadly i didnt) but once i learned how crap that the anniversary edition pip-boys were (Ontop of only holding a phone). I wanted to make my own with the power of a desktop and thats when i stumbed onto the raspberry pi 2, small, powerful and being able to be powered by a portable charger. So ive been designing and now ive stumbed onto a design that ive made to fit a 5 inch touch screeen and a hopefully 10-16,000 mAh portable charger. And as of now i think ive settled on a desgin i like. 

Right now i've printed a 1/4th scale of the full model

What layer height did you print that at?

Hehe, I remember my first days of 3D printing, play with the acceleration values on the X/Y axis and you can fix the "echos" when the printhead goes around corners. Another thing to mention is that most 3D printers can print arches without support material. I would also look into reducing the retraction speed on the extruder. After changing these values, I got FAR better prints, and they actually printed faster too because I could raise the overall print speed without having issues

Looks to me like .3mm

Yeah, I've never printed anything higher than .2, then quickly ran back to .1 for dat quality.

I have done .35mm before, good for 3D printer parts

Ah the joys of custom built/janky repraps

@iamdarkyoshi is right tho, next time don't print with support as your school's printer can probably do it just fine with out. Which printer is it exactly, I'm curious.

My previous school's printer put support anywhere it damn well pleases. It was horrible getting support out of things that shouldnt have had it in the first place

Rip in peace. Do I smell a Flashforge?

Its an old dimension 3D printer with a print area of 10x10x10inches and a print speed of a snail. My original printer completed tasks in 1/5 the time

Looks sick! You may want to adjust your design to accommodate the shape of your arm. That is unless your arm is actually just an oversized hotdog.
