Pi4 PoE+ SSD Case

prusaprinters

<p>This case is designed to hold a <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/">Pi-4</a> with <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/poe-plus-hat/">PoE+ Hat</a> as well as a standard 2.5” SATA SSD. Sometimes it’s useful to be able to <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/boot-raspberry-pi-4-usb">boot your Pi from a SSD</a> rather than an SD card.&nbsp;</p><p>Attach the PoE+ Hat to the Pi-4 using the provided screws and spacers. The Pi will then sit in the case beside the SSD. They are both a snug fit and need to be pressed in.&nbsp;</p><p>If you have some clear 1.75mm filament, you can add a couple of light pipes to extend the LED’s to the outside of the case.&nbsp;</p><p>Then the lid just clips on top. No screws required.&nbsp;</p><p>A SATA to USB3 cable connects the SSD to the Pi. The one I’m using here is from <a href="https://www.startech.com/en-au/hdd/usb312sat3cb">Startech</a>, but there are plenty of others.&nbsp;</p><p>I wanted this for my <a href="https://pi-hole.net/">Pi-Hole</a>, so included the Pi-Hole logo on the top, just for fun. There’s also a version of the lid without the logo if that’s more your liking.</p><p>I've also created a <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/283501-pi4-ssd-case">version </a>that doesn't use the PoE+ Hat and exposes the power, audio and HDMI sockets.</p>
