2001: A Raspberry Pi Zero Odyssey Case

thingiverse

Maybe this design isn't too practical - no heat vents. I was just sitting around looking at my Pi Zero and an overwhelming urge to touch it suddenly took over me. So I did, and then I felt compelled to find an old thigh bone and start smashing things with it... A Pi Zero's dimensional ratios are surprisingly close to the 2001 Monolith: 1 x 4 x 9. The squares of the first three prime numbers. So I built this case for it to those exact dimensional ratios. Was this planned? Is this some hidden agenda of Eben Upton? Perhaps he was upset that we never made it back to the moon in 2001 to discover the Monolith there. So he went on a secret mission to bring it back himself...only to find that it was actually really small and contained a mini-computer inside. Was the dawn of man a creation of a computer? Or did Upton travel back in time and start it all himself?! Oh, the paradoxes!!! Now I'm trying to remember where I left that thigh bone...

Not a single luxury...oops, sorry. A simple, quick print should take only an hour. The Pi inserts from underneath and is held in place by the power cord. Complete your mini, working diorama using a couple of apes from Wolfboys: The Dawn of Man - 2001 A Space Odyssey Action Scene EvD: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:19369 Perhaps doing so will take you to the next level of human evolution...X-Men, Meta-Humans, Tomorrow People...who knows?! Post-Printing: Not too tight Make sure your Pi slips in and out relatively easily. Get in there with a mini file to clean it up if need be. If you force your Pi in, you may not be able to get it back out again. You may need tweezers to get a start on pulling it out.
