Raspberry Pi Case with OLED SSD1306

thingiverse

This is my second Pi Zero Case designed mainly to hold my Pi Zero W, but also works with the normal Pi Zero as well if you're using wifi dongles. Its design allows the Pi to slide in easily and the power cord keeps it in place. Since it uses a sleeve to hold the Pi, it's quite robust and doesn't break mounting lugs, nor does it need screws or bolts to hold it in. In addition, the top can accommodate a LED ring for added flair, and I run it as a status light off a GPIO pin with a resistor. There is also a hole for a small push button, which I monitor with a script to shut down the Pi if necessary. The latest modification was inspired by someone who installed a larger OLED, but I tried to keep it within the case. Since it's rotated 90 degrees, I use the luma.oled library and rotate the output while using I2C to communicate with the Pi. It now runs an instance of PiHole to block ads from my laptops and mobile devices at home and has added a clock for functionality. The base now has a title space where I applied some Tip-ex and write the IP address of the box as I have too many now and don't like using hostnames, preferring fixed IPs instead. It all prints easily, with the only trick being that I printed the LED diffuser in PETG with 0% infill. If you just want it as a case, then you can omit the light ring or print it solid. I hope you like it and it makes a change from standard flat rectangles. I use the 128x32 SSD1306 I2C clones from eBay, which do the trick.
