Printable Parts

150x65mm Battery Holder

This is a predesigned holder for 150x65mm batteries. These are common LiFePO4 batteries found in uninterruptable power supplies, and can be ordered from the supplier listed in the components page.

DCDC-8A Mount

The DCDC-8A Mount is the mount that holds the DCDC-8A in the case, allowing for it to be removed by unscrewing it rather than having it permanently affixed directly into the case.

Epic PWRGate Mount

The Epic PWRGate is the power path controller which selects the power source to use for supplying the rest of Campfyre.

Starlink Mount Corner A

This is what screws into the Starlink Mount to hold the Starlink Mini in place. Print two of these for Campfyre.

Starlink Mount Corner B

This is what screws into the Starlink Mount to hold the Starlink Mini in place. Print two of these for Campfyre.

Starlink Mount Half

This is the base that attaches to the case, to which the Starlink is then attached. Print two of these for Campfyre.

Voltmeter Mount

This attaches the voltmeter (and associated pushbutton) to the side of the case, so you can check the battery voltage.
