Description

A custom overhead console/pod made to hold the Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen up to the roof on a Ford Superduty Truck. Used as a rear view mirror and Android Auto head unit.

The hole of on the top side lined up with an already existing hole centred in the crossmember in the roof. I just use a threaded insert (nutsert) to provide a 1/4 20 threaded mounting point. The vents in the back channel air over the DC/DC converter shown in the videos.

The 4 mounting ears should be printed laying down for the most strength and have provisions for flanged nuts (installed backwards) and can be held in place with a dot of silicone. Flat head screws sit flush with the outside of the enclosure, however it is very easy to split the case if overtightened.

These are the black oxide screws and nuts I used:

Print price estimates

Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.

FilamentUSD / printApplication notes
PLA$28.50Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors.
PETG$29.00General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review.
ASA$32.50Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry.
ABS$31.50Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions.
TPU$37.50Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials.
Nylon$37.50Moisture, tolerances and application require review.
PA-CF$42.50Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review.
Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
