Open case for Raspberry Pi Zero (W) with optional LEGO mounts

For incorporating your Raspberry Pi Zero into a prototype device, the Pi Zero W also fits perfectly. It offers unrestricted access to the GPIO pins while safeguarding against physical impact. The enclosure remains open for the camera cable. Some versions come with or without a hole for the micro SDHC card using alternative models. You can easily seal it using a LEGO lid that leaves space for venting hot air and accommodating a 40-pin GPIO cable. However, if your M2 screws exceed 4mm in height, the GPIO cable may be obstructed, prompting you to connect wires directly. A legal note: A court ruling concluded that LEGO's standard cannot be copyrighted due to its mathematical features more suited for patent protection, which would have expired long ago if filed. According to copyright law, it is permissible to print parts compatible with LEGO but not replicate a standard design that infringes on LEGO's copyright. The LEGO mounts only adhere to the necessary dimensions for compatibility, avoiding any imitation of LEGO's design. While laws are often ambiguous and evolving, this particular aspect is both lawful and ethical, promoting fair competition through superior robotics products.
