Troopa Shell By Troopa Shells Case concept by Troopa Shells. Designed/edited by Jimmy Johansson. Case for Raspberry Pi 4. Will be doing a 3b+ and odroid in the future. This isn't your standard Pi 4 case. This shell is designed to be more a "retro console" more than anything . This is much larger than most pi cases. What you will need to build : -6 3m screws. 4 long 2 short . -60mm fan. Suggested 5v fan . -2 3mm LEDs . -a 12mm monetary on switch . -3 sets of jumper wires. To connect LEDs and power button to gpio board. -Some paint. Optional. Instructions: (If painting paint and dry first .) 1. Put SD card into Pi . 2. Figure out where your going to gpio with LEDs, power button and fan. Connect LEDs and power button to gpio. (Optional can do after pi inside case. ) 3.Place pi inside bottom case . Carefully 4. Align with screws holes . Put short 3m screws in . 5. Carefully put power button and LEDs in spots in case. Power on left SD activity on right . 6. Place fan in top of shell secure with long 3m screws . 7. Connect fan to gpio board .Slide top of shell on bottom. Will click on there . 8.Make sure holes for screws are aligned. Located on bottom of shell. Adjust if necessary. Puts screws in. Some Specs: -60mm fan for extra cooling. -Access to usb, Ethernet etc . -2 LEDs are for SD activity and power on/off. -For LEDs and power button to function correct you have to "tell pi" that's what your doing. Resources: -12mm power button. https://www.amazon.com/Coolais-Momentary-Button-Waterproof-PBSM-02/dp/B07F9PLSRY/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=push+button+12mm&qid=1589654616&sr=8-6 -60mm fan https://www.amazon.com/Diffused-Lighting-Electronics-Components-Emitting/dp/B01C3W6NSK -Jumper wires for connection to gpio. https://www.amazon.com/GenBasic-Piece-Female-Jumper-Wires/dp/B01L5ULRUA -Leds https://www.amazon.com/Diffused-Lighting-Electronics-Components-Emitting/dp/B01C3W6NSK -Install video will go here. -Index for code to make LEDs and power button will go here. Tips: -Make fan cord jumper wires long. Shorter will be harder to install. -Designed to be printed in wood for bottom of shell. Then a glow "ring " around top of shell . Then lines painted black . -Front of case is power buttons and led . Coming Soon: -Smaller version of this case .(if possible) - loading/intro videos for Troopa shells -A "plug n play" case with pi and everything in side ready to play. -A theme for Retropie based around Troopa shells . - More unique case for single board computers. Mainly based on retro games . Check us out Facebook . Facebook.com/troopashells
