Pi Gaming PC Case for ice tower (Rpi 3, 3B, 3B+)

thingiverse

Hi there! I'm excited to share with you my custom-designed gaming PC case for the Raspberry Pi 3 B+. This case features compatibility with the ice tower cooler from 52PI. For this project, you will need the brass standoffs, acrylic, and spare fan(s) from the ice tower kit. 1. Print the parts with 80-100% infill with supports on the base (grid supports make cleanup easier) 2. Screw the brass standoffs into the base and tighten the nut on the other side. 3. Line up the pi on the standoffs and screw the second four through the pi mount holes. 4. Install side fan(s) with nuts and bolts(m3x16mm) coming from the outside and wire them to the 3v pins. There will be two versions, one with two fans and one with a single fan. 5. Finally, install the ice tower, put the top on the case, and screw (m2.5) or glue the acrylic onto the side. (Wire it to 5v and put the PWM(blue) on gpio 18 and set the fan pin in raspi-config. PWM can always be unplugged to have the fan always running) There you go! You now have a pi gamer! Let me know what you think in the comments, and post a make so others can see it! I recently realized how tricky it is to remove the sd card, so I will fix that soon.
