SD Card Image and Pi Case 3D File: Issues

[caz]

Are you able to convert to stl files?

I have uploaded everything to Thingiverse, including the 3d print 3mf files. It will take 24 hours for the files to be approved by Makerbot. See the post at the top of this forum to see the link.

I am having trouble downloading the SD Card Image. When I click the link, I am connected to a Google site with a download requestor. When I request the download, it starts, but then fails ("Failed - Network Error). Is anyone else having this issue?

OK, apparently Google Chrome doesn't work for downloading the SD Card Image. I tried MS Edge, and it worked fine. After unzipping the file, I found that the resulting file had no extension. Just for jollies, I added ".img." I used BalenaEtcher to transfer the now recognizable file to a 32 GB SD card. Inserted the SD Card into my Pi and it booted just fine. However, it gets to a update screen. As someone else already mentioned, updating is not a great idea. The touch screen stopped working after the update.

I have yet checked for a fix, either on this site or anywhere else. Will update when if I can find a solution.

I tried it again and it works for me. It might be because I have a gmail account and I am using Chrome though.

It is a zip file not an img file. Once you extract it, it should be an .img file there. It is a 2.4Gb file so you may need to use a download manager to get it.

If anyone can recommend another free large file download site then I can try that as well.

Hi Guys,

I added another download site for the SD Card image if the Google Drive link doesn't work for you. I updated the sticky announcement, but here it is as well. Let me know if you have any issues.

Github may be a better way to distribute the SD image. Especially if the goal is to ultimately move this to a set of packages that load on top of a stock Raspbian image, which would be the best route.

John,

Just wanted to thank you for jumping on this.
