Universal 2U Cubesat

This is a remix of my 1U Cubesat, I have included extra files to make a 2U Version, assembly and printing is similar – please refer to the 1U Instructions if you haven’t reviewed the previous design yet – https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4096437

As CubeSats become more popular, there are more 3d printable designs available now than ever. Still I found it challenging to integrate the most common CPU or MCU platforms available today – the Raspberry Pi or Arduino Uno. I set out to design my own that does not require print supports, looks good and can house different boards I regularly use.

This 2U CubeSat is designed to be compatible with the 2U CubeSat standard developed by the California Polytechnic State University CubeSat Program.

It has the same adaptor that allows Arduinos, Raspberry Pi’s and PC104 boards to be installed. There is also a 2U Rasberry Pi Camera panel supplied.

Other than the 3d prints themselves hardware required is;

40 M3 x 10mm Philip Head Screws

40 M3 Nuts

At least 4 M3 Standoffs

4 M2 Screws and Threaded inserts for the Raspberry Pi Cam V2 Module.

Please refer to the instructions below on assembly, and selection of configuration.
