slim Raspberry Pi 2/B+ case

thingiverse

YARC! - Yet Another Raspberry Case there are many options for a raspberry pi case on thingiverse - but none quite covered all the features I was looking for... so time to design one :-) Updates 2015-03-25 added top with groove for CSI ribbon cable and another with CSI+GPIO there are variants: for M2.5 screws completly screw-less snap-together this case tries to be: slender and snugly fitting around the pi low profile/height not bulky: walls are as thin as possible, but as thick as necessary to be sturdy enough closed, to keep dust out (the pi doesn't run that hot anyway...) two parts - lower part acting as coaster assembled with readily available parts: easy to come by M3 screws easy to disassemble - using the mounting holes with easy to come by M3 screws (countersunk M3x16mm) and set-in M3 nuts not occlude the status leds printable without any support structures Note: this requires the "mounting" holes to be widened to accommodate the bigger screw - which the raspberry foundation discourages since it might damage the pcb! Instructions screws & nuts M3x16 countersunk screws where used (3mm diameter, 16mm long) the corresponding nuts can be either press-fitted into their holes - or if you find the holes slightly to tight: heat-set into them (no-tools version: put the nut on a screw and heat it up over a candle/lighter-flame) 3mm holes what worked for me was was mount a 3mm drill in a cuck and carfully drill out the hole by hand - to not damage/stress the pcb finishing touches filling the led-"hole" with hot-meld adhesive or clear silicone-caulk as diffuser works great
