Please feel free to check out all my other designs under my profile at https://www.thingiverse.com/The_Craft_Dude/designs. Version 3 of this case is available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4088427. This Raspberry Pi case is designed for the Raspberry Pi 3 and has a Trash can Mac Pro look. Its intention is to be used as a small DIY desktop PC/Mac Pro alternative. Please note that this model is designed to fit two 40x40x10mm 5V PC fans, colored red in the pictures. Both the internal fan mount and Raspberry Pi mount can be attached with either screws and nuts or glue. The same applies to the fans; however, I do not recommend gluing the fans in place. Since I could not find a way to mount the pi while keeping the USB ports accessible, I designed this case with a small opening on the back at the bottom. This allows you to wire an extension USB cable out from inside the case. This was the best solution I could think of, considering that not everyone has the same USB hub but most USB extension cords are shaped similarly and are cheap and easy to make. The idea behind this case is that it should be used with a wireless keyboard and mouse for a Mac-like experience. If there are any problems, please let me know. >>PLEASE NOTE!: Some of the files are large, so not everyone might be able to print them unless you split the files into different parts.<< v1.9: - The top fan mount has been redesigned. - The Raspberry Pi mount has been modified. - The frame has been modified and fixed. - The shell has been fixed. - I would like to extend special thanks to "Melanie_T" for pointing out some of the problems and also check out her made version of this case, which looks awesome in black and blue.
