Summary

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!
