Raspberry Pi 4 LCD Case - Bitcoin Edition

prusaprinters

<p>This is a standalone case for the Raspberry Pi 4 with the official 7" LCD Touchscreen. It covers the back of the LCD and the Raspi 4 and has cut-outs for a case fan, ventilation and all ports. The fan can be mounted inside or outside but after a while I found it less noisy when mounted outside.</p> <h3> Intro</h3> <p>As you might have guessed from the pictures, I use it as a bitcoin full node and the Raspi 4 is perfectly capable for doing the initial sync of the blockchain and keeping it in sync with Tor enabled. With the low energy consumption of Raspi 4 it can run 24x7 and because it is a true desktop you can use it for other things too, like showing the current price in tradingview or use it as a gui for the Electrum Wallet with Personal Server. Search the web for "raspberry full node" and pick any instruction that suits you or follow the links below.</p> <p><em>Note: the cut-outs for the ports on the case only cover the upper part. I couldn't think of a way to cover the bottom too without making the model overly complicated. It's a minor imperfection with no negativ effects (my fan blows air inside, no dust comes in) but please let me know if you've redesigned the part to fully cover the cut-outs.</em></p> <h3> Print Instructions:</h3> <p>(see printer settings for more details)</p> <ul> <li>print "rip4_case"</li> <li>singlecolor: print "base_single"</li> <li>multicolor: print all files named "base_multi" - add them to the slicer as one model and give each part the color you like Build Instructions:</li> </ul> <hr/> <ul> <li>mount the Raspi 4 on the LCD screen as shown in the included manual</li> <li>attach the base to the back of the LCD with 4 M3 screws.
