HiFiBerry DAC+ Zero Pi Zero W Case

thingiverse

Case for a Pi Zero W with a Hifiberry Dac+ Zero, featuring an optional soldered 3.5mm audio jack on the Dac+ Zero (see images - white one has jack). I included a version that utilizes M3 2-3mm screws to secure the pi, but note these are a very tight fit in the holes of the pi itself. Be cautious when installing to avoid cracking the Pi. The holes in the STL are 2.8mm. This design fits a **Pi Zero w 1.3**, which requires a millimeter or so of extra space for the camera connector. **It will also accommodate previous versions** without the camera connector. **Important Note:** Remove the SD card when installing/removing the Pi. Once the Pi is in the case, it can be challenging to remove with the DAC attached due to the USB port getting stuck. I may revise this in a future version (let me know if you want the change!). Also, this case is a very tight fit. I still need to modify the 3.5mm jack model because, as evident from the picture, it cracked upon installation. ### What can I use this for? I utilize it to host an airplay and Spotify connect server via [Musicbox](https://www.pimusicbox.com/). It works great for Spotify, but Musicbox is not updated to the most recent version of shairport-sync and encounters stuttering when streaming via Airplay. This could be resolved by manually configuring [shairport-sync](https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync) on raspbian lite. However, I've had some difficulty getting the DAC+ Zero working due to my limited knowledge of the Linux terminal. If I succeed in making it work, I'll provide a configuration file and instructions here. ### Why I made this Thing? Another user created a similar case, but I felt it was too large and wasted space. This one fits inside it with room to spare! I have provided a link to it in the remixes, as I used it to locate the RCA jacks, which I tightened the tolerances on -**this may affect certain RCA plug types**. This design is intended to use as little space as possible.
