Final Project CAD Description

For my final project, I designed a rugged cyberdeck using Onshape CAD software. The purpose is to build a portable, waterproof PC inside a Pelican case, optimized for use on a boat with offline access to GPS, maps, and Wikipedia. The front plate most be thin enough to fit in the case but thick enough to mount connectors and components. I began by designing the box, and then the basic electronics that make up the computer. I then laid them out how I wanted and created basic mounts using heat set inserts and friction fit to join different components. I initially struggled with not blocking the ports of the raspberry pi and battery pack with the model, but fixed it by splitting it up into various parts that can be assembled after printing. Finally, I designed the model to be made in different material hardnesses depending on the use, in order to protect electornics from vibrations or shocks during daily use.
