Raspberry Pi B+ Shell Case - Protect your Raspberry Pi while still showing off its devilishly good looks!

thingiverse

This is a protective shell case designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi B+, and it may also work with other Raspberry Pi models. The shell case allows you to safeguard your Raspberry Pi without transforming it into an unwieldy block of plastic. The Raspberry Pi model is printed in two parts - top and bottom - which are then secured together using 1.75mm 3D filament as pins. Simply cut four small pieces from the end of your spool of plastic, and you're ready to go. This 3D printed case was rigorously tested to ensure a snug fit with the Raspberry Pi B+ model. Assembly is a breeze - no tools or additional parts are required beyond what's needed for printing. I designed this shell specifically for the reddit.com/r/3Dprinting contest, where it won first prize as the best Raspberry Pi case. My goal was to create a stylish shell that showcases the Raspberry Pi's hardware while providing excellent protection. I printed my shell using Inland brand Bronzefill 3D Filament from Microcenter and tested it on a Raspberry Pi B+. The results were impressive - the shell fit perfectly, and the Raspberry Pi looked great inside. Note: My printer has a poor print quality, which is evident in the rough texture of the pictures. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Important Printing Note: If you intend to print the top part upright with supports (which yields the best results), make sure to adjust the support offset to 1mm and review it in the print preview. This will prevent Makerware from printing supports inside the pinholes, which can be a real pain to remove. By setting the support offset to 1mm, you'll still get excellent support for the Raspberry Pi logo without any issues.
