Raspberry Pi 4 Slots
An elegant little Pi drive bay from EgonHeuson on Prusa Printers:
I’m super happy to present you my latest design. I took advantage of this quarantine period to learn a bit more about programming, and I set up several Raspberry Pi (RPi) as small home servers for several applications (chat, home cloud, VPN, etc.). However, after a while, I ended up having several raspberry pi hanging around my router. With the heat we’ve had recently, the Pi’s were reaching over 55°C. Even though it’s not a real problem, I thought that having a system to store them together and keep them cool would be a good thing for the upcoming summer. I have a hard drive bay attached to my NAS, and I though that such system would be inspiring and that is why I come with a raspberry pi bay where we can easily and quickly swap pi drives for different applications and tests.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
Four-slot Raspberry Pi cluster board starts at $80
Mar 4, 2020 — by Eric Brown — 65572 viewsIPTerra’s “CloverPi” cluster board starts at $80 on Kickstarter, supporting up to 4x Raspberry Pi SBCs with power, switches, LEDs, and network headers for each plus a 5-port GbE switch with uplink port.
Most Raspberry Pi cluster kits we’ve seen support the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, such as Turing Pi’s $128, 7-board Turing Pi Clusterboard or MiniNodes’ $259 5 Node Raspberry Pi 3 CoM Carrier Board. There’s also Pimoroni’s, 4-board, $49 RPi Cluster HAT v2.3, which instead supports the Raspberry Pi Zero. Like BitScope’s Blade boards, IPTerra’s new CloverPi can cluster regular-sized Raspberry Pi boards.

Houston-based startup IPTerra is a fifth of the way to its $15,000 all-or-nothing Kickstarter goal for the CloverPi, starting at $80 or $90 early bird prices through April 30, with shipments due in June or August, respectively. This is actually the CloverPi 1.4 — the first version IPTerra has sent to production — and if this doesn’t work, it’s already worked on a CloverPi 2.0 model.The CloverPi, which we saw on Geeky Gadgets, consists of a backplane for connectors that house up to four Raspberry Pi SBCs, including any model with a 40-pin connector. There’s also a board that fits in the fifth slot with a 12 or 19V power supply that supports all four SBCs and a 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, with one of the ports used for uplink.

Each Pi board has its own dedicated power switch, network header, networking link light, and individually addressable LED. Mounting holes are also included. Applications are said to include K8s, Docker swarms, OpenStack development, and small office server or Open Flickr stacks.
