PIvena

thingiverse

PIVENA is a highly functional and compact Raspberry Pi case designed to inspire creative projects. Its unique housing holds a stunning 7” HDMI LCD screen and can accommodate either the Raspberry Pi model B or B+. When opened, the case perfectly positions the LCD for comfortable viewing, making it easy to access and configure the PIvena without obstruction. A precisely arranged grid of holes in the bottom provides an array of mounting options for custom modifications, allowing users to personalize their project with ease. To access the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins, a thoughtfully designed rectangular cutout on the back offers convenient access. Not only is this case compatible with the B version but also features strategically positioned holes for audio jack and RCA video jack connections on the model B. Easy accessibility is maintained via cutouts for Ethernet and USB ports on the right side. To keep the screen in position, a simple yet effective slide mechanism has been implemented on the left side.
