Summary

I used OpenSCAD to combine the "OctoPi Sleeve Case for FFCP" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1028217) with a FFCP Spool Holder mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:999830) to create a new case variation that can be mounted to one of the Spool Holder Slots of the FlashForge Creator Pro. I have the newer 2016 FFCP and the original case design didn't merge well with it. I also use individual desktop spool holders instead of the FFCP holders and had two extra slots in the back -- this seemed like a really good use for one of them.

I centered the mount with the camera cable and added corresponding slots in the spool holder bracket so that the camera cable can be threaded through them and fed inside the printer for an internal mounted camera. This offsetting also allows the expansion connector of the Pi to be fully accessible.

I wanted to keep the original OctoPi logo on the case, but a bug in OpenSCAD prevents it from rerendering the unions correctly with the logo. So I used the plain remix variation (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1128619) in my actual print, but have left things in place for it to work both ways should OpenSCAD be fixed.

Print vertical with the Ethernet and USB slots facing upward using supports. A raft may or may not be necessary depending on your printer and material used. I printed it in ABS and erred on the safe side to use the raft to make sure there was enough contact area footprint with the bed for its height. Go easy on the support material structure so that it will separate easily.
