Creating a POP Kiosk

From CLIO

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.

Printing the Case

The POP kiosk is made from a collection of modular parts that can be printed separately and assembled into different configurations based on your specific needs and application.
