Description

A raspberry pi 5 case, paintable logo, vented, access to DSI and PCIe ribbon cables, access to GPIO, fits the official active cooling. Keep your eye out for additional variants including side access. Supports are not necessary however if you plan to use the DSI slots it shouldn't but may make them a little tight depending on your overhang tuning.

EARLY Pi5 RECIPIENTS: Please give feedback as I won't be able to aquire a new pi for at least a couple weeks.

Note: The Raspberry Pi logo is paintable. If you do not want the logo, just dont paint it and it wont appear on your print.

 

 

Update 23Oct23: Opened up snap fit to make it less tight. Added more chamfer to screw holes. Added Toolless variant.

Update 24Oct23: Changed snap between USB ports to be a solid flat surface as the snap fit could potentially break there with too much force.

The PLA-profiled case was successfully printed without any issues, resulting in a visually appealing product. I've integrated a Raspberry Pi 5, 8 GB version board into the case, and here are my observations: 1. The case provides a snug fit, requiring some force to secure the board in place. 2. The dividers between the USB ports and Ethernet port could benefit from being slightly thinner in width (approximately 0.5mm less) to facilitate easy insertion of the ports. This adjustment should also be considered for the micro HDMIs and the power port, as the tight fit has led to cracks developing at the corner near the power port. 3. Adding four legs to the bottom plate would enhance ventilation when the case is positioned on a flat surface. 4. Consider incorporating text labels such as "Reset," "USB," "HDMI 1," etc., to further enhance the case's usability and aesthetics. I appreciate your efforts in creating such a beautiful case. Thank you!

Printed well and fits nicely with the fan attached, a really good slim well vented case for the pi 5

I recommend scaling up by 1% in all axes, due to it being a very tight fit to the Pi PCB, mine ended up cracking during install. I would also recommend decreasing the size of the top and bottom vent holes, so that they can be printed with more than just a single wall, as this caused a lot of difficulty getting first layer adhesion to work nicely without a lot of tiny gaps as shown. Currently working on a PETG profile since this would have a bit of flex and thus less prone to cracking

Even with freshly cleaned print bed and fully dried and calibrated filament profile this design is inherently difficult to get good first layer adhesion with due to it being a bunch of single-line-width loops and tiny gap fills in between. Lots of small gaps in first layer surface finish and stringing. Fitment is VERY tight to the Pi PCB itself, causing the bottom case to crack on install. I recommend scaling the whole print up by 1% for easier fitment. I am working on an improved profile.

nice print the 5 in the raspberry is a little small maybe the .2 nozzle could print it not sure but its small. fits nice and tight even with the OEM heat sink fan
