Raspberry Pi VGA Case with fan

prusaprinters

<p>I needed a case for a Raspberry Pi with a Gert VGA 666 adapter, but as my environment is very hot, I needed a fan to help with the cooling of the Raspberry Pi.</p> <p>I remixed this case to include a 25mm fan. The fan screw holes are 2.5mm so they can be threaded using an m3 tap or screw.<br/> Link to Tinkercad files for the remixed top cover of invent3d's awsome case.<br/> <a href="https://www.tinkercad.com/things/2uPlvU2U2Qx">https://www.tinkercad.com/things/2uPlvU2U2Qx</a></p> <p>Some Wrinkles:<br/> The Gert VGA I bought was a kit that had to be assembled and works perfectly.
