Sleeve Case for Raspberry Pi

thingiverse

Updated March 2018: Added a new version (2.0) with a larger cutout for the microSD card since newer models are now non-spring loaded, which means the SD card won't stick out too far from the Raspberry Pi itself. This version also features tighter tolerances and tweaks to the design that make it simpler to print, as well as an added latch on the cap so that the Raspberry Pi stays in place when you close up the case. This design is intended as a simple sleeve to shield your Raspberry Pi from any stray screws or debris around your workspace. The main body of the case just slides over your Pi, and then a cover slips down over the connectors on either end. Due to the loose nature of this setup - essentially, everything's held in by friction only - it won't be the best solution for situations where you have a lot of peripherals getting unplugged or inserted frequently. For that matter, this design likely isn't great for taking anywhere with you, like say, under a printer running Octoprint as it did for me. All you need is some simple holes on either side to get everything exposed and good-to-go - so you don't lose the whole case. You may possibly want to adjust your scale along the Z axis since how thick your printed design will be is entirely up to you when it comes down to things like layer height and print resolution. As an example, Colorfabb Red PLA/PHA was used by me here - but Sainsmart Clear PETG has been another option of mine. I also have a whole slew more of Raspberry Pi case designs in this same collection if they catch your eye. Note: affiliate links
