Raspberry Pi 3B+ enclosure with 40mm fan

thingiverse

I had to secure some Raspberry Pi units against walls but couldn't find a case I liked, so I created this enclosure. It is designed specifically for a 40x10mm Noctua 5V fan that I power directly from the PI GPIO header. This fan operates silently and keeps the Pi at very nearly ambient air temperature due to its assisted airflow through numerous ventilation slots. To secure the lid on and the Pi in place, four M2.5 nuts and four 10mm M2.5 cap screws are required. Two short lengths of clear 1.75mm filament (I use PETG) serve as light pipes for the PI LEDs. I employ aeromodelling 'Formula 560' Canopy Glue to hold them in place since it dries clear. Simply trim them using a sharp scalpel once the glue is dried. There are two versions of the base available - one has external feet while the other features two holes in the base for countersunk screws. If you opt for this alternative, make sure that the screw heads are below the ring surrounding the holes to minimize the risk of short circuits. The dust cover aims to prevent dust from accumulating within the USB ports when the PI is mounted with its ports facing upwards. It simply fits around and is retained by the LAN cable.
