RPi 2 & 3 Modular Cases and Cluster

thingiverse

ATTENTION! An updated version for this has been released. Please find it <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3858968">here</a>. These stackable Raspberry Pi 2 & 3 cases are designed for parallel programming and clusters. The idea is to use the cases individually for small Pi projects or scale them up to as many as needed with modules that aid in larger configurations. Modules * Covered: Fully enclosed Pi case. This design focuses on aesthetics while still providing proper cooling through numerous vents. More material is used, but the Pi will be better protected. * Slim: Minimal Pi case design. This design uses less material, but leaves the Pi less protected. Better cooling is a perk of this design. * 120mm Fan: For those who need extra cooling, the fan sucks in ambient air to the stack. It's recommended to use a fan guard (link at bottom of description) and position the 30mm Pi fans to suck out air from each case. * POE Hat: Power over Ethernet makes wiring for this setup much easier. Use case covers titled R-Pi POE Case Cover.stl or Slim - R-Pi POE Case Cover.stl to use this module. Note that the "standoff" version of the base must be used. * New modules will be coming soon. Recommended Print Settings * Use supports on each print (touching build plate) * Layer resolution <= 0.2mm Helpful Links Fan guard link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2802474 For this model, I used a fan grill from GradCAD by Igor Erokhin: https://grabcad.com/library/120mm-fan-grill-1 5V Pi fans: https://www.amazon.com/Easycargo-Raspberry-30x30x7mm-Brushless-30mmx30mmx7mm/dp/B0792BW2VH/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1547336001&sr=8-8&keywords=raspberry+pi+fan
