Raspbeery Pi 3 case

thingiverse

I acquired a plexiglass housing for my Raspberry Pi several months ago. Unfortunately, this one cracked during assembly due to a flawed design. However, I discovered that the possibility of opening the lid was extremely useful. At some point in the past, I realized I needed a new enclosure and I could do it better. The method I used to assemble is distinct from the original. I employ screws and nuts to secure the sides together. This approach does not compromise the integrity of the housing and is also simple to disassemble again for reuse. Of course, I added the RPi logo on the lid; this feature was absent in the initial design as well. I created the design using SolidWorks. The drawings are included within the project file. To facilitate easy use, I generated a Dxf-file from the laser cutter file for effortless import. Additionally, I prepared a document for Laserworks with all necessary settings. The materials required can be any material as long as it is 3 mm thick; otherwise, the inserts will not fit properly. All screws and nuts are M3 in size. The ones used on the side to secure the box together are M3x12, but sizes of 10 and 16 mm also fit well. The screws located at the bottom are M3x12. With an extra nut, there is sufficient space between the Rpi and the bottom plate. The lid can be opened and closed with ease, providing direct access to the interior for experimentation purposes.
