Step 1: What you need

Before start building you will need to get all your parts together.

You can source these parts yourself or buy the kit on Etsy:

  • A set of lasercut 1/8″ baltic birch plywood parts (Thingiverse)
  • A set of 3D printed parts (Thingiverse)
  • (36) – 5/16″ length 4-40 screws
  • (11) – 1/2″ length 4-40 screws
  • (2) additional 1/2″ screws are included in the Model B+ kit
  • (4) – 5/8″ length 4-40 screws
  • (6) – 4-40 nuts
  • (2) additional nuts are included in the Model B+ kit.
  • (3) – 1″ length standoffs
  • (4) – 1/4″ length unthreaded standoffs
  • (1) – micro usb cable

These are needed but not included in the hardware kit:

  • (1) – 5V 2A power supply with a 2.1mm barrel connector (Adafruit)
  • (1) – HDMI cable. I used a 1ft flat cable from (meritline) but you can use whatever you like.

  • (1) – 7″ HDMI LCD (Adafruit) or (Amazon)

Step 2: Assemble the Base

  1. Get the base plate, (4) 5/16″ screws, (4) 3D printed corners
  2. Set the base plate down in the orientation shown in the first picture.
  3. Insert one of the 5/16″ screws from the bottom side of the base plate in a corner hole
  4. Screw it into the bottom of the 3D printed corner piece 1.NOTE: the bottom of the 3D printed corner is flat, while the top has a bump up that is used to align the top pieces.PIvena Assembly Instructions
  5. Repeat for the remaining 3 corners

Step 3: Right Side

  1. Grab the side plate (has a large rectangle cut out with a step in the top), (3) 5/16″ screws
  2. Slide the side plate between the 2 3D printed corners.
    1. If it isn't fitting on nicely you may need to rotate the 3D printed corners slightly.
  3. Use (3) 5/16″ screws to secure the side plate to the 3D printed corners.
