Raspberry Pi 3 layer case

thingiverse

I've designed a custom laser cut case for the Raspberry Pi 3, drawing inspiration from Pibow by Pimoroni. Since newer versions of Pibow were created but never released, I decided to create my own and share it with others. By carefully optimizing the design, I was able to reduce the number of layers (from 10 to 8) and overall dimensions (from 99x66x30mm to 90x62x24mm), compared to Pibow. This was achieved through strategic use of half-thickness carves and the Raspberry Pi's mounting holes. To create the intricate carves, set your laser to engrave about 1.5mm (half thickness of the acrylic). You may need to experiment with this setting, but it's definitely worth the effort. If you don't have M2.5 screws handy, which can be a bit rare, simply drill out the holes on the board with a 3mm drill and use plain M3 screws instead. The case will fit these screws perfectly without any modifications. This custom case is crafted from high-quality 3mm (1/8") acrylic. I've included two versions: one features a stunning voronoi pattern on top, while the other does not.
