RASPBERRYPI-2-MODB-1GB acrylic laser cut case

Here is a Case for the brand new RASPBERRY PI 2 MODEL B 1GB and the RASPBERRY PI B+. You can also order it ready at http://www.led-genial.de. The Assembly Video is currently being worked on and I will publish it soon. This case securely holds the Raspberry Pi in place with spacers, preventing any movement or loose connection to the board. All ports are fully accessible, and there's no chance of damaging them due to an imperfect fit. Additionally, the side pieces click together like a puzzle in their precise positions, eliminating the risk of mounting the wrong way round. However, using pressed Plexiglas is a must for these parts, but this comes with the drawback that it's not available in pre-colored versions. On the bright side, you can cast custom colors for both the body and cover (identical), giving you endless color options - which was the driving force behind creating this case. Unfortunately, the RaspPi Foundation did not think through the mounting holes carefully. While they may seem round with an imperial value, they fall short in terms of metric measurements for Europe, coming in at 2.75 mm instead of the needed 2.75 mm to fit standard M3 screws. As a result, you're limited to using 2.5mm threading - a considerable setback given that these parts are more expensive than their M3 counterparts. An easy workaround is simply drilling for an M3 fit - and it won't damage the board one bit.
