Mini Computer Easel

A neat form factor idea for an easel style SBC computer with very few custom parts, casings, etc. adheres to Permacomputing and perhaps also Scavenger Tech approaches.

Parts Required

Equipment Required

  • 3D printer
  • Screwdriver
  • Lazer cutter or jigsaw

Ideas & Notes

This design's form factor above shared by @tendigits is super neat. Given nature of SBC's one can of course refashion this to accommodate numerous different sized / models of boards. Some random ideas and questions to explore:

  • Holster backing for large rechargeable battery pack like Powerbank MP20 to be attached to the easel for an easily movable setup.
  • Simple enclosure box to protect the SBC and circuit board (while less cool, might be good idea)
  • To create an open-hardware board which one could removing monitors from old broken laptops and repurposing them for a design like this.
  • The boards to attach an MSATA solid state drive Mini Server Raspberry Pi 4 by N-O-D-E
