Description
NOTE: If you intend to use a 3.5" screen for BMO's face, this model works, but I have published an improved version of BMO that is made to fit a 7" touchscreen. Check that one out. It's better.
This project is an enclosure for a Raspberry Pi 4 in the shape of BMO!
The enclosure fits a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. You can probably get it to fit the Pi v3 if you make some minor adjustments to the placement of the IO, but that's outside of the scope of this project.
The cable feeder has two little holes for "lights". I took the high-tech approach and literally just snipped a couple mm of red filament and green filament and glued them in there.
I intend for the final version of this project to include functional buttons, but until I acquire some more technical skill, they are purely decorative and adhered with glue.
Non 3D Printed Elements:
The main enclosure has two cutouts in BMO's butt for an external HDMI port and power input. I used the stock USB-C power button that comes with the Raspberry Pi and this HDMI adapter from Best Buy:
I used a 3.5" TFT screen for the face that connects via the Pi's GPIO. I used this one.
Oh, BMO, how'd you get so pregnant?
BMO, I need your perfect body to host the human incarnation of a baby!
