Enclosure for Raspberry PI


Static Badge GitHub Release GitHub License

This enclosure is designed to be sleek and minimalistic. It is designed to be 3D printed. This case does not provide any camera or display port access. But GPIO are easily accessibles.

Compatibility

This enclosure support following boards:

  • Raspberry PI 1B+
  • Raspberry PI 2B
  • Raspberry PI 2B 1.2
  • Raspberry PI 3B
  • Raspberry PI 3B+

Files

Two versions of the upper part are available. One with GPIO access and one without. Ideal for a clean look or server applications like VPN, DNS...

  • RPI_3bplus_enclosure_lower_1.2.STL Lower part of the enclosure common to all
  • RPI_3bplus_enclosure_upper_1.2.STL Orginal upper part of the enclosure with GPIO access
  • RPI_3bplus_enclosure_upper_1.2_no_gpio.STL Upper part of the enclosure without GPIO access
  • gpio_cover.STL Cover for GPIO. Best of both worlds, clean look and easy access to GPIO

Thermal management

This enclosure is designed to be used with passive cooling solution. 35x35x12mm heatsink is recommended.

A 1mm copper plate between the CPU and the heatsink is needed to allow space for surrounding components.

No need for fan event with intense CPU usage.

Material and print settings

Clearance is 0.2mm for all parts to facilitate assembly. No support is needed.

4x M3x24mm flat-head screws and 4x M3 nuts are needed to assemble the case.
