Raspberry Pi 2/3/B/+ Case with cooling

thingiverse

The new Raspberry Pi case allows for quiet and efficient cooling with a Noctua 40*10 5v fan. Case must be closed for optimal cooling. Edit:{ There are a few problems. I am working hard to solve them. They are as follows: Some broken STL } Changes: 24.12.2020: uploaded step source file, corrected sizes, improved fan holder 15.2.2021: updated top and fan holder: the parts now glue together with some medium strength adhesive on the round pads Here's a Raspberry Pi 2/3/B/+ case with a similar form factor and appearance to the Apple Mac Mini. The ports are derived from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3391821 You will need: 14 8mm diameter 3mm thickness round magnets 4 M2.5/M3*10mm screws Superglue Medium strength adhesive(I recommend UHU) 4 adhesive rubber feet 40*10 axial fan(Noctua 40*10 PWM is best) Wiring to attach the fan to the Pi There is a slot in the front of the case to accomodate for wiring looms. Instructions: 1. Print the whole case 2. Put the Pi on the bottom part, aligning the mounting holes and ports 3. Put the top on top of the Pi, making sure ports align. USB ports should stick out of the cutouts. Make sure the GPIO pins are reachable through the cutout 4. Put the fan inside of the square in the fan holder. It should be a loose fit to accomodate for tolerance. I would recommend sticker facing the Pi. 5. Hook up the fan to the GPIO and if there is any messof wiring simply put in slot next to RPi 6. Use M3*14 screws to secure top and bottom case, as well as the fan holder 7. Use glue to glue magnets on the fan holder. There should be holes where they should be 8. Glue magnets on the cover, paying attention to their orientation so that the bottom of the cover attaches to fan holder 9. Stick 4 rubber feet on the bottom to give it room for ventilation
