<h3>Designed for Octoprint</h3><p>If you are looking for a nice Octoprint case, this is right for you.<br>Also, RaspiCam is supported!</p><h4>Updates</h4><p>01-16-21: New version available! All suggestions have been accepted and implemented in the new version. Thanks to you all for your support and feedbacks! Here are the improvements:</p><ul><li><strong>Snap-fit joints</strong> were completely redesigned in order to make a <strong>more rigid coupling</strong> still allowing an easy disassembly;</li><li>Implemented a <strong>MicroSD slot</strong> for easy access to the SD card without the need to disassemble the whole case;</li><li>As the older version, an <strong>opening</strong> on the <strong>Upper-case_CamCable</strong> is provided for the RasPi Cam's flat cable to pass through.</li><li><strong>Even better airflow</strong> is garanteed by the hexagon shaped holes on the bottom side of the <strong>Lower-case</strong> for the cold air to pass through and help keep the RasPi's temperature low; It's recommended to print four <strong>Hexagons </strong>and insert them in the slots of the <strong>Lower-case </strong>to use them as stand-offs;</li><li>Slightly smaller than previous version to reduce material consumption;</li><li>Aesthetics improvements.</li></ul><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td style="background-color:#fa683118;border-color:#fa6831;border-style:solid;">In the <strong>Lower-case</strong> there's a 0.2 mm thick bridge to prevent the corners of SD card slot from falling making too difficult the insertion of the <strong>MicroSD-cover </strong>(see picture below). Once print finishes, just cut it out as if it were a support.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/44108/rich_content/5b2a46b2-3aa8-4786-a2b0-c7f84f314baf/bridge.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22f01c5272-98e3-4df3-ae6a-0b9ced9c84e0%22%2C%22w%22%3A2021%2C%22h%22%3A1137%7D"></figure><p>If you like this design, please consider buying me a coffee to support me in the creation of many other useful designs as a sign of gratitude for the huge amount of time and effort. Thank you very much and happy printing!<br>&nbsp;</p><h4>Assembly</h4><p>No hustle in assembly, just three steps and you are good to go:</p><ol><li>Print it;</li><li>Insert the Raspberry Pi;</li><li>Snap fit all together.</li></ol><p>Simple as eating a sandwich ;-)</p><p>No fan needed<br>The case is designed to optimize the air flow and to keep the Raspberry Pi well cooled without the need of a cooling fan.</p><h4>How it's been made</h4><p>This is a remix of my Raspberry Pi 4 case. In order to make it much easier to assemble the case with the RPi4, a few changes were made:</p><ul><li>Divided the lower part in two halves for easier inserting of<br>Raspberry Pi;</li><li>Added snap fit link between upper case and lower case;</li><li>Using four M2.5x4 screws is recommended in order to keep the Pi in place, but not<br>strictly necessary.</li><li>Minor improvements from the aesthetic point of view.</li></ul><h4>Variants</h4><p>As the previous version, the upper case is provided in two variants:</p><ul><li>Upper case cut so as to allow the passage of the RaspiCam's flat cable;</li><li>Upper case without the opening.</li></ul><p>Hope you enjoy printing my designs as much as I do; if so, like or post a make and, as always, happy printing!</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><ul><li>Layer height: <strong>0.2 mm</strong>;</li><li>Supports: Only for <strong>MicroSD-cover </strong>hoverhangs;</li><li>Orientation: The models are already in the best orientation.</li></ul><p>If you are looking for <strong>RaspberryPi4/Octoprint case specifically designed</strong> to be connected to a <strong>Prusa MINI/MINI+</strong>, I suggest you to give a look to this design too: <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/it/prints/118058-raspberrypi-4boctoprint-case-and-mount-for-prusa-m">RaspberryPi 4B/Octoprint case and mount for Prusa MINI da JayCee09 | Scarica il modello STL gratuito | PrusaPrinters</a></p>
