Raspberry Pi 3A+ Holey Case

Hole for a heat sink with lots of breathing space in a minimalist multipurpose case targeted at open air with no nuts/bolts required. It's a 2 piece, top and bottom relying on snapping (I have semi-carefully snapped it over a dozen times with no wear to the snap teeth).

Ignoring heat sink, the case is 15mm tall, 60mm wide, 71mm long. All walls are 2mm thick for durability and rigidity.

The vent holes are purposefully in a grid pattern so I can make easy accessory snap add-ons in the future when required (or lazily use twist ties).

The SD-Card is easily installed/removed with a fingernail from the underside.


Designed in freecad.
Freecad and STL files included for your torture.



Print Settings:
It's different for every printer and material used. The pictures shown are my first attempts for my new pi for my new printer. As I consider this a tool and not a visual accessory, I printed fast, loose and ugly (100mm/s, 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm height, 115% feed rate, etc..).
