Raspberry Pi 3A+ case (with VESA mount options)

thingiverse

Raspberry Pi 3A+ case, laser-cut from 3mm plywood or acrylic, gives users a versatile and customizable enclosure option. The design features two versions: one with a sliding top and another with a fixed top. Files are available for editing, as they have not been flattened, allowing designers to make adjustments as needed. Key components such as GPIO cutouts, heatsinks, air vents, screw mounting holes, and logos can be easily customized by moving or setting base objects to visible. The case's design allows easy access to ports and slots, ensuring a snug fit around the Raspberry Pi board. The board is securely held in place by 1mm deep slots along the sides, eliminating the need for screws. A sliding top variant provides convenient access to GPIO and UART pins, making maintenance and upgrades hassle-free. Originally designed for the Raspberry Pi Model 3 A+, this case also accommodates the Model 1 A+. However, it is not compatible with the B or B+ models. For users who prefer a pre-flattened file, two updated versions are available: "Raspberry Pi 3A cases - 300x300mm cutting.svg" and "Raspberry Pi 3A cases - 300x300mm cutting.pdf." These files can be imported and scaled to create a 300x300 mm page. Additionally, optional VESA mount plates (100 and 75mm spacings, 4 sets of holes per) and half-VESA mount plates (100 and 75 mm spacings, 2 sets of holes per) have been uploaded. These can be printed and used as alternatives to the standard back plate, allowing users to securely attach their Raspberry Pi 3A+ to most computer monitors. The half-VESA plate is also compatible with many desktop/wall mount arms. For those who need a more extensive mounting solution, an optional half-VESA 200mm mount plate (2x M6/M8 screw holes) has been uploaded. This design enables users to secure their Pi to the back of most televisions and provides enough clearance for hanging off the side or bottom of VESA wall mounts.
