Ultra Compact Raspberry Pi 3 and 4B 80mm Fan Cooled Enclosure Case

thingiverse

This ultra compact enclosure case is specifically designed for use with Raspberry Pi 3 units and incorporates active cooling via an 80mm X 10mm 5v 0.25A cooling fan, along with a few screws to facilitate assembly. Perfect for applications such as PressPI server, OSMC media player, Raspbian computer, or any other requirement that necessitates a case and active cooling! COMPATIBILITY This enclosure is compatible with the following Raspberry Pi Models: - Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ - Raspberry Pi 3 Model B - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (untested, same mounting holes, different connectors) FEATURES: - A super simple one-piece design makes assembly a breeze. - The case provides access to the SD Card and all ports for seamless connectivity. - The Raspberry Pi is screw-mounted, along with an 80x80x10mm low-voltage fan. INSTRUCTIONS - Print the case body. - Optionally print the fan cover or use your own; bareback mounting is also an option! - Purchase a Raspberry PI Model B or B+, Micro-SD card, and a high-quality 5V 2.5A PSU. - Buy one or two 80x80x10mm 5v 0.25A 2-pin brushless cooling fans (available on eBay for approximately $7 to $10). - Connect the fan to the GPIO pins. - Mount the board and 80mm fan using a few miscellaneous screws. The rendering below depicts an 80x80x20mm fan; unfortunately, its increased energy consumption due to more mass to rotate can upset the Raspberry Pi 3 models' voltage system if powered via the GPIO pin out. Therefore, we replaced it with a low-voltage 80x80x10mm fan, ensuring smooth operation!
