HALGRID P-1 Raspberry Pi Laptop Computer Shell

thingiverse

This is my HALGRID P-1, an homage to the super cool Gridcase Laptop Computers of old. It is custom designed to fit Raspberry Pi 4, but I'm sure other versions will be able to fit. Just double check the dimensions. As this is a fairly large design, I split it up into multiple components that can be printed vertically to reduce the amount of filament and cut down on overall print times. I would sand the insert tabs that connect the pieces together for a smoother fit. Battery insert on the back left is designed for an Anker 26800 powercore power supply with a little slot so that you can run the cable from the supply to the raspberry pi USB-C power connection. The two compartments on the back piece left and right of the monitor are slots for either bluetooth or wired speakers. For mine, I disassembled an old pair of headphones and inserted the earpieces into the slots, running the cable down the opening at the bottom of the monitor pieces into the 3.5mm audio jack of the pi. The Display is fitted for the official Raspberry Pi 7" touch screen display. The screw holes are a bit off (haven't had time to fix this yet sorry!), however, on mine I was able to screw in one side and the fit is snug enough that it doesn't slide around. I didn't connect the pi to the back of the display, but instead ran the video and power cables out the side slot and down through the openings at the bottom of the monitor to the pi in the back right of the case. The keyboard insert is fitted for the Keychron K2, and it fits perfectly! A little too perfectly, so I put the little kickstand up so that I can easily pick it up and turn the bluetooth connection on and off when I need to. I've had a lot of fun with this design, and hope you enjoy your own HALGRID P-1!
