Adafruit Neopixel minimal case

thingiverse

This is a compact case for an Adafruit Neotrellis board; it's just large enough to hold a Pi Zero W and the trellis board itself. To make this work, you'll need: A Neotrellis board (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3954) - about $13 The silicon buttons for the board - https://www.adafruit.com/product/1611 - about $5 A Raspberry pi zero W - https://www.adafruit.com/product/3400 - about $10 It's also convenient to use the cable connection to the trellis board, https://www.adafruit.com/product/3568 - less than $1 You'll need to do a little soldering to connect power and I2C between the Pi and the Neotrellis (4 wires total). The hardest part of the project is installing the necessary libraries to get Python working with the Neotrellis board, although Adafruit provides pretty good instructions for assembly and configuration, and some example Python code for what to do with the system once assembled - it's here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neotrellis/circuitpython-code In truth, the box is actually just a tiny bit too small for the Pi Zero with its SD card inserted, so there's a small hole on the bottom to give the card enough space. I think of it as a feature - I can replace the SD card without disassembling the box. I've included 2 STL files, one for the base, one for the lid, and I've attempted to include the Fusion 360 archive with the original design (although I've had mixed luck exporting/importing those). It's been useful!
