Raspberry Pi 2 Extended Case

thingiverse

I've added an electronic enhancement to my RPi 2 by incorporating a power button for efficient shutdown. This setup ensures the microSD card remains intact during system restarts, preventing corruption of the stored data. Space within this enclosure allows for a buck converter and necessary circuitry, including that for the switch and additional components. This configuration has been successfully documented on the Raspberry Pi forums (link: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=129357&sid=0899adff43bc2535111925a5ddb0d63c&p=873921#p873921, credits to the original poster) and was made possible thanks to a brilliant case design by its author. My own design took shape rapidly, and though I'm satisfied with the result, some sections could be tidied up further – those interested are free to do so.
