I'm looking for a good tool to make the 3D scanning of my mini-pc using the photogrammetry and my Kinect 2.

Using that adapter is not a bad idea.
But I can't help the placement of the power bank... Or is this the placement you're considering?

This just barely manages to avoid any interference, but is it possible to assemble it?

Also, there is no way to access the power and reset buttons on the RockPro64.

There are through-holes on the board for soldering in power and reset switches, but...

Some considerations on this image :

1) the USB ports of the Nitecore powerbank on your picture are placed on the wrong side. They should be placed on the opposite side :

This is the side that touches the support surface....

and

2) the reset and power button of the RockPro can be accessed easily making a little hole on top of them (on the back). They are small buttons. The thumb presses them easily even if the hole is small. And anyway,the hole can be a little bit larger if needed,I don't see huge problems.

You will also find useful to give a look at this section of the "tablet",it's the left side :

Below you see the right side of the "tablet" :

and the top side :

@S-TKUC

+2 respect for dealing with this.

I can't imagine fitting my finger through a 9mm gap, but...

If Mario can do it, then let's do it.

So, what advantages does this arrangement have over the one I proposed?

The PCIe will be blocked, but you will not be able to use a PCIe extension cable with a case this thick.

An example of a possible HDMI cable.
Since the product dimensions have not been provided, we do not know whether they are within the 19mm limit allowed for the case.

An example of a possible USB cable.
This product also does not provide dimensions.

Additional information
I found a compatible fan that can be used for cooling, so I'll share it as a note.

The fan connector of RockPro64 is a JST XH 2Pin connector.
As you can see from the product photo, the polarity is also the same. 1Pin is +, 2Pin is -.

I don't have a 9mm gap :

Anyway,the reset / on-off button is a little bit useless,since the tablet can be turned off by issuing the shutdown command from the FreeBSD terminal and then detach the external cable (the trigger cable) that connect the powerbank to the Rockpro.

You're talking about the PINE64PLAYBOX, right?

Are you planning to use that case?

Are you saying that the TAKACHI PF24-4-17W design is pointless?

---

In your PINE64PLAYBOX example, styrene foam is sandwiched between the RockPro64 and the display.

This places the power switch higher than the power bank.

In the TAKACHI PF24-4-17W case that I am designing, there is no such space.

The gap between the RockPro64 and the display is assumed to be 0.1mm.
This is the thickness to allow for insulating Kapton tape or similar to be applied for safety.

As a result, the power button is placed at the same height as the power bank, with a gap of 9mm.

---

If you want to arrange it the same way as your PINE64PLAYBOX example, it's not possible with the PF24-4-17W.

You'll have to change to a 60mm thick case, such as the PF24-6-17W.

Do you really want to gain an extra 20mm of thickness?

I'm talking about the PINE64PLAYBOX yes. I have always talked by looking and examining this enclosure because I can see it clearly with my eyes and because I've thought for months what could be the best disposition of the hardware components inside it. I don't have clear in my mind how much the TAKACHI PF24-4-17W can be close to the layout that I have in mind. That's the reason why I asked you,some posts ago :

Excuse me,but at this point I think that you have understood what's the "geometry" of my case and you know where the electronic components are located. You should know or you can also calculate the dimensions of the powerbanks,of the rockpro and so on. Where you don't have the missing informations you can ask me and I will guide you. So,I think that's easier for you to create a case taking the STL file that I gave you and apporting some further modifications. I also think that on the end,these modifications aren't huges. This could be a better choice than trying to adapt the TAKACHI case that knows nothing about the dislocation of my components.

Anyway,I could buy it to see clearly how to adapt the components inside it. Does it make sense ?

 

[S-TKUC]

So you were going to reverse your statement to buy and modify the TAKACHI case at some point and demand that we design our own case for 3D printing based on the PINE64PLAYBOX?

I'm exploring the enclosures sold by TAKACHI ELECTRONICS. At this stage I don't want to ask them to create a tailor-made enclosure. I just need only a box that's able to reflect the main sizes I need : width,height and depth.

You should have said more clearly, "Stop designing TAKACHI" or something like that.

It wasted a lot of time and effort.

I didn't say that I want this. I said this :

I don't have clear in my mind how much the TAKACHI PF24-4-17W can be close to the layout that I have in mind,where I've been able to adapt every piece in a good way.

and I've added this statement :

Anyway,I could buy it to see clearly how to adapt the components inside it. Does it make sense ?

and now this :

Can you point me to an online shop where I can buy it ? So that I can realize better how to place the components inside of it without losing some funcionality.
