SBC Case Builder and Pine64 SBC - hominoid - 07-21-2024

SBC Case Builder is an autonomous case building tool written in OpenSCAD who’s case parameters can be adjusted through a Customizer GUI.  With automatic SBC openings and a parametric capable accessory subsystem, standard and custom cases are possible across many different base case and adapter designs.

Several Pine64 SBC models have been added to SBC Model Framework(SBCMF) and the previous models which were not verified have undergone improvements to reach verified status.  This allows SBC Case Builder to generate case designs for the: A64, A64-LTS, Rock64, RockPro64, Quartz-A, Quartz-B, Star64 and SoEdge-A.

   

Eight test cases used to verify SBCMF status are available in the saved cases pickbox above the Tabs at the top of the window: A64_shell, A64-LTS_shell, Rock64_shell, RockPro64_shell, Quartzb_shell, Quartza_shell and SoEdge_A_Baseboard_shell.  Any of the test cases can be used as a starting point for a different case by changing the base design or by making any other customization which can then be saved as a new case.

   

The test cases use 2.5mm and 3mm inserts and screws as needed.  Some cases are top fastened and some are bottom fastened, some countersunk or blind and some recessed, some are actively cooled and others are passive configurations.  All the adjustments and options can be changed so take the time to review and change the necessary settings to match your personal preferences and available fasteners.

As opportunity allows, other Pine64 SBC will be added.  The current SBCMF model for the Pine H64B still needs work and I don’t have access to one right now, so it isn’t ready for use and the status has not changed.  Anyone interested can find SBC Case Builder and SBC Model Framework available at my git repository.
