Raspberry Pi 4 Low Profile Ice Tower Cooler Case V1.2

thingiverse

This case uses m3 x 8mm screws (quantity 8) for assembly. https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/QM2510008A20000 Those are what I have used. The optional accessories (SSD rails, VESA mounts) are m2.5 x 6mm https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/QM2490006A20000 Those are what I have used, but due to limited clearance inside the case, some hex socket head screws would probably work better. https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/MS2490006A20000 But I have not actually tried those. --- This is an upgrade to my case for the Raspberry Pi 4 with the Low Profile Ice Tower Cooler. This fits the low profile version - see the link below if you have any questions which Ice Tower it fits. http://amzn.com/B07ZV1LLWK This version has several changes. The bottom of the case features recessed for silicon rubber feet - to prevent it slipping off of the table. These are the feet I use - size 8.5mm x 2.5mm. https://amzn.com/B07QW58TZH There are screw holes on the bottom (under the rubber feet). These holes are intended to attach accessories. They are compatible with my Minimalist Drive Rails. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4333866 I also have a 75mm x 75mm VESA mount that is compatible. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4399907 These holes are 49mm x 58mm on center - the same hole spacing as the mounting screws in a Raspberry Pi board - so anything that will screw to this case will screw to a Pi by itself and in many cases vice versa. The hole on the top of the case has been enlarged since v1 of this case. It is square and 42mm x 42mm. This allows the case to accommodate thicker fans. There are parts called FANshowd (sic) that are for mounting the fan. They replace the metal clips that come with the Low Profile Ice Tower Cooler. These fan shrowds clip around the Ice Tower's heatsink and then the fan is screwed down to the shrowds. They are designed to work with m3 screws - screws should be the same length as the thickness of the fan you're mounting - 10mm for a 40mm x 10mm fan, 20mm for a 40mm x 20mm fan, etc. The regular shrowds are only 2.5mm thick where the screw thread in, this can be problematic - there is a chance your screws might bottom out on the heatsink marring it, and threading into a hole that thin risks stripped screws. On the other hand, it does keep the top fo the fan flush with the top of the case. The thick shrowds have more meat to thread into, but raises the fan 2.5mm proud of the top surface of the case. These prints require very little support if oriented properly with the rectangular sides face down - but you'll need good bed leveling and a smooth bed to get a good outside surface. There is support necessary around the SD card slot and HDMI ports. https://youtu.be/TFpoVwrw3Pc That video shows the details of the original version of this case. https://youtu.be/D_n163bh3Fw That video shows assembly procedure for the original version of this.
