Pi-Hole_Zero_Case

thingiverse

Update 14 Apr 2020: I printed the base, but it needs a bit of tweaking where the Pi goes; however, it still works if you clip off the thin part of the pi holder in the base. The holes don't quite line up. I've made the adjustment so it should be good to go now. As for my next print, I don't have a plan yet but please let me know how it turns out. In my case, the pins with wires fit just barely, and it might work better with a hat - specifically one that adds UPS functionality would be a great use for this. I put Pi-Hole on a Pi Zero W and noticed it was getting quite warm, even with a passive heat sync. So I decided to build a case that would house an IRF520 mosfet for PWM modulation of an 80mm computer case fan. This way the Pi can control the fan based on its own temperature (code in progress). The setup worked well when tested on a breadboard. I also wanted to power the Pi with the 12v from the fan's power, so I added a MP1584EN buck converter. The case should fit all three components, with the fan on top of the lid. Possible improvements for down the road: - Wall mounting options - ON/Off switch - A way to include the UPS hat for the pi (not powering the fan) Print with support enforcer for the mosfet thumb clip and buck converter area.
