Vertical Case for Raspberry Pi 4 with Ice Tower Cooler

Edit March/31/2020: I have uploaded a revised version of this thing with my dual fan upgrade. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4253510 I have also uploaded to this listing the latest version of an evolving case structure part. It is called 4040structure-STL2.STL . I would recommend printing this version of the structure instead of the original ICEtowerSTRUCTUREnoNUTS part. This newer version future proofs this design and alleviates from clearance issues around the #1 and #39 GPIO pins. Edit Feb/18/2020: I have added a file with PRINTface in the name. This is a printable face to use instead of the acrylic. I print these in vase mode - so 3 or 4 bottom layers and 1 wall thickness, for fast printing and low material use. Printed in a translucent material, these panels show off the color changing glow from the LED fan much more impressively than the acrylic panels do. I also uploaded the SD side and the HDMI side in a slightly optimized version that has side panels that are .8mm thick instead of 1mm thick. This reduces print time slightly and material use slightly. Mostly it just helps with translucency when printing with translucent material. These are denoted by the OPT in the file names. The top and bottom models that were uploaded originally were already modeled at .8mm thick in the non-critical areas, so there's no need for me to optimize those models. Also, I made a video showing some of the basic features and the assembly process. https://youtu.be/3SmSJCr62FE --- This is a vertical case for the Raspberry Pi 4 with the Ice Tower Cooler. It holds the Pi vertically with the HDMI and power connectors on the bottom. There are holes in the side for cable routing. There is an optional strain relief for a power cable (official Pi 4 power supply) and 2 HDMI cables. There's an optional black plug as well. It has space in the front and back for two acrylic (or any 3-6mm material) that is 62mm x 76mm (roughly) The parts are all intended to be printed face down on your build plate - so get your first layer game on as those will become the outside surface of the case. Normally after I make these, a week or so later I release an optimized version with shorter print times, less material usage, and any other improvements I can think of to make after a week or so of rumination and use. I will probably release a Pi3 version with that. It uses 12 m3 x 8mm countersunk screws. I used phillips head, but allen head will probably work too, just not countersink as far. The optional strain relief/blanking plug use m3 x 8mm non countersunk - again philips or allen will work. same pics but bigger https://imgur.com/a/xNnLjWP Pics of the first prototype and disassembly (reverse process of assembly) https://imgur.com/a/FUhbiUq
