Creating a POP Kiosk
Introduction
The CLIO kiosk prototype is designed to have a mobile and modular form factor. All hardware is easily replaceable in the event of hardware damage or failure. It is constructed using off-the-shelf parts and does not require any soldering. Raspberry Pi hardware facilitates easy cloning of the kiosk system, allowing the institution to create additional kiosks in-house as demand dictates.
For the pilot test, all required parts were fabricated using a Creality CR-10 Mini 3D printer. This includes a case, mount, stand, collar and screen protector. To improve longevity, we purchased standard metric metal hardware instead of printing it.
Overall, the total cost per kiosk, including electronics, hardware, and filament is $220. The kiosk leverages designs that are available through online repositories under permissive licenses, as well as custom parts created specifically for this project.
