Important news about HackSpace

We have some important news to share about HackSpace: Issue 81 was the last issue of HackSpace as a standalone magazine, and HackSpace has become part of The MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine. Starting with issue 145, We’ll be adding pages to The MagPi to make room for the stories and tutorials you’ve come to expect from HackSpace.

Objet 3d'art

By Andrew Gregory. Posted

There are many cases available for the various incarnations of the Raspberry Pi, but this is one of the cleanest we’ve seen (hsmag.cc/wDHaKP). Thingiverse user Walter created this simple sleeve to protect his Raspberry Pi B+. It’s in two parts: a small cap that fits around the Ethernet and USB sockets, and a larger sleeve that the Pi slides into.

There are no holes to provide access to the GPIO headers, but the files are licensed CC-BY-SA, so you’re welcome to modify it to your needs.

3D printed clamp

A 3D printed screw clamp sounds like a completely impractical idea, so hats off to jakejake, who designed each part of this clamp (hsmag.cc/JPdFkL) with the grain of the print in mind to provide the necessary strength. Like the case below, we’ve printed it in 100 micron PLA.

It looks to us like a grown-up version of a toy, so would be ideal for any small engineers who need clamp you can trust won’t damage your surfaces.
