Raspberry Pi 2 snap case

thingiverse

A two-part snap-together case for the Raspberry Pi 2 (also suitable for the model B+) allows you to easily assemble and disassemble your device without using glue or fasteners. The case's design is intended to be printed with minimal support structures, minimizing material usage while maximizing flexibility in handling warped prints when working with ABS. To make it possible to use this case even if both sides have slightly warped from the printing process, the back part of the case includes two slots that align with the edges of your Raspi's board, making sure a secure fit is always available. If you don't require this extra feature for any reason, it can be easily modified within the corresponding Tinkercad file. To access the front or back design files for 3D printing: - Front: https://tinkercad.com/things/jsU2tWXlk45 - Back: https://tinkercad.com/things/faPvYSBrbJI Cautionary Notice: The manufacturer recommends using this case at your own risk, taking full responsibility for any possible damage or complications arising from its use. Print Preparation: Just print the back and front parts upright with their openings aligned towards the top as depicted in the STL files. You can skip printing a raft but it's recommended to do so as a preventive measure against excessive warping while the part is being printed out. After completing your print job, simply remove any temporary supports attached to the model during its fabrication and also carefully smooth down the rough edges found at the entrance of each part if needed. Assembly: Place your Raspi into the front portion of the case so that it perfectly aligns with both of the USB connector ports located there. Carefully push in the rear section over the micro USB, HDMI connector pins on your board, applying just enough gentle force while you move it. Make sure that all parts are well secured once completed before finishing. Note: The following example demonstrates a similar method: A Raspberry Pi is contained within the printed structure made using an Up! mini, utilizing ABS material and achieving perfectly acceptable performance despite warping effects resulting from thermal expansion after it's complete build out process
