Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 simple case

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted to make some changes to the Pi Zero case and lid by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1589023">red9987</a> and <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1227867">cfunseth</a>. I re-created the design in 123D Design and made some small changes. The first is a power logo on the lid, to indicate which of the two micro-USB ports was for power, since I could never keep them straight. I also added a hole over the LED to help see the power/activity indicator. There's also a notch on the back of each cover to help open the case later. The last change was to add a block to each cover to help hold down the board inside the case when assembled. Without the block the Pi Zero kept moving around with the weight of the mini-HDMI adapter attached to it.</p> <p>I added a case top with a cut-out zero logo to help with air flow for anyone that runs an overclocked board but doesn't want the gap for the IO headers.</p> <p>I would suggest printing the case bottom at 100% infill, or adjust your shells to make sure the walls are solid when printed. The dividers between the USB and HDMI port are small, so without 100% fill they could be too brittle.</p> <p>I printed my case with PLA+, but it should print just as well with normal PLA or PET. ABS prints might need to be scaled up to account for slight shrinking of the parts when cooled.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Electronics Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Printrbot</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> <a href="http://amzn.to/2DqOqq1">Printrbot Plus</a></p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.2mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 100%</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>The top covers can be printed at 20% infill to save on filament and time.
