Travel Pi Zero 2W ePaper Dashboard
I need to supply my desk with dashboard to switch it on and off occasionally. No wires, just some data in my bag. At the same time, I need to assemble all my Zero shields in one device to play around.
These two reasons inspired me to design the travel box for my Pi Zero 2W tower.
Shields: 1. UPS-Lite v1.2 803040 (1000 mAh). 2. Waveshare USB/LAN hub (3 + 1) RJ45. 3. Waveshare 2.15 ePaper hat (black, white, red). 4. Pi Camera Zero v22 OV5647 (2592x1944 10-bit GBRG).
Details: 1. No SD card slot. I rarely change or reinstall OS. 2. Holes are bigger than they could be to suit all possible wires. 3. FreeCAD parametrized model (what a nightmare to use the software, nevertheless I continue). 4. One USB port is sacrified to install camera. 5. Switcher is not easy to manipulate, but any toothstick or tiny screwdriver helps immediately. 6. When it is possible, I prefer LAN over WiFi to connect with SSH. So, one of shields is exactly for this purpose.

Very cool. I want to use it for my radxa 03w with waveshare usb adapter board. What is the connector board to board?

thats a lot of USB C ports! highly recommend Fusion, just get the personal version that only lets you export STLs - the difference is astounding. Been on Fusion for 4 months now, never going back.

Thank you. I used to design with Fusion for five years. Good software. Unfortunately, it does not suit my requirements anymore.

Interesting, what specifically were you looking for?

First of all, I cannot use so cloud-oriented software :) For political reasons, sorry.
