I recently bought a Maix Dock M1, which is a neat little device with a K210 neural network accelerator. The kit also included a small LCD display, which I was excited to try out. However, there was one problem—there was no case for the mainboard and the LCD. Handling the camera and the LCD together was a bit awkward, and I was worried I might accidentally break something.
To solve this, I decided to create a stand or holder for the mainboard and LCD using 3D printing. I designed the stand using Tinkercad, a simple online tool for creating 3D models, and then got it printed.
When I received the printed stand, I was impressed by the initial results. The stand looked cool and was very convenient to use, especially when doing experiments involving the camera. There was just one minor mistake—the ribbon cable connection between the mainboard and the LCD didn’t align perfectly. Even so, the stand is workable, and I’m confident it won’t damage the display ribbon.
Overall, the stand has made working with the Maix Dock M1 much easier, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Here are some more pictures :
