Minimal Raspberry Pi Case

thingiverse

A minimalist Raspberry Pi case designed to mount vertically alongside an Ender 3 printer, perfect for individuals with limited space on their side. This compact design keeps the Pi accessible while keeping it out of the way, ideal for those who value organization. The OpenSCAD file, although still a prototype, is posted here mainly due to a coworker's request to test it out. Be warned that tweaking certain parameters may cause the design to break; however, a cleanup pass is already underway. For added stability, M2.5 screws can be used; yet, the case remains functional without them. When employing these screws, it's recommended to add the hidden nut before attaching the rail clip. An alternative cover version featuring a slot for the display connector has been added. Furthermore, space for the GPIO header is being cleared, with an updated version expected soon. The dovetail clips connecting to the rails may require slight adjustments due to their tight fit. In the works is a refinement to taper the ends for easier assembly. To ensure optimal airflow and prevent dropped pieces from hitting the Pi, the grill on the sides is angled appropriately. By using curves instead of traditional hex patterning, printing times are significantly reduced, with this section taking just 13 minutes to print, down from its original 25-minute mark.
