Nextcloud Box (for Raspberry Pi 4)

thingiverse

This attempt aims to create a compact case for a Raspberry Pi 4 Server that can easily attach to the wall. I also added a hole for the Raspi 4 Fanshim, but due to design constraints, it's necessary to use a connector ribbon if you want to utilize the Fanshim on the Raspi Board. Remember to secure the setup with plastic nuts to prevent vibrations. The case is designed to accommodate metal inserts for M2.5 screws that hold the raspi board in place. However, there's still an issue with one of the feet; when screwing the HDD from behind, it collides with the foot. You can either drill a small hole in the affected foot or use only three screws instead of four to attach the hdd. To minimize vibrations, I cut the cylinders over the holes and replaced them with small rubber plates. Some users might prefer using a RAID setup for their Raspi Server, but it's not feasible due to power supply limitations on the Raspberry Pi. Since RAID is primarily intended for continuous operation, rather than backup purposes, I opted against this design feature. Don't forget to back up your data regardless! Also note that the design has been slightly modified since printing out my prototype; therefore, the pictures of my model differ from the files. Additionally, I didn't print the cover as I plan to make it out of wood using my future CNC machine. You should verify if the opening for the HDD cable is large enough for your specific model, as there seem to be different configurations available.
