[Gauging Interest] Stripped Down RPI 3 for USA
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 10:17 am
Hello All,
I'm not from around here, but I am in a lot of other places. With AIO options coming onto the scene I've gotten more interested in doing one of these myself with an RPI3. Ive been working on a few other pi3 projects that require me to strip these guys down and Ive got the flow of things now.
The only board I have to show proof is the first one I worked on, where I wanted to be lazy with the camera connector by lifting one side and then bend it back/forth to break it off. Turns out the pins spread across the entire bottom! Who knew! Didn't make the same mistake with the display connector, or since.
The project that I was doing also needed to still have hdmi so in the picture there is a ribbon cable connector in place.
With all that said, is there interest here for this kind of work? I see one user from the UK offering such a service, but I dont see anyone in america doing the same.
Please let me know! And let me know what you would be willing to pay.
I heard there are some cooling concerns too when doing more intensive work too. Kite tells me that he is able to get some 3mm thick blower fans, but would only buy them if theres enough interest.
