Back to [[RPi Hardware Basic Setup]].

{{Template:RPi_Hardware}}

As yet, the foundation does not provide cases for the Raspberry Pi. The small form factor or low power draw however, allow you to put it in almost everything.

==Lego Case==
[[File:R-Pi case, Lego, prototype.png|thumb|right|The Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user eric_baird]]

I just had a go at knocking up a quick Lego case prototype. Since I don't know the metrics of all the connections, it's a bit of a "proof of concept" right now, but since's it's not exactly difficult to take out any offending side-pieces and move them if they're in the way of a beloved connector, I'm assuming that this isn't a big deal.

Also, because of the thin side-walls, a bit of additional hacksawing or dremeling shouldn't be too difficult.

I've limited myself to only using pieces that are currently available from Lego's "Pick a Brick" shop, in red. :)

I've tried to fit everything into an 8*12 grid footprint, which will hopefully fit … but I don't have the specs of the thickness of the thin wall-pieces, so no guarantees. One thing that might screw things up is the height of the board's connectors: I don't know whether they'll all fit within the upper and lower lip of the side-wall pieces. If the board's "USB port stack" is too high, I guess the "roof" could be raised by a tile or two.

I knocked it up with Lego's Digital Designer program (free [http://ldd.lego.com/download/ download] from their site). The critical Lego piece is the repeated hollowed-out "side wall" ("[") brick ("wall element 1*2*2, w. window"), which you'll find on LDD's parts palette behind the little "door" symbol, or under the Pick a Brick page, as element #4507686, design #60032 (red), cost 8 pence each.

Feel free to hack, mangle or otherwise rework.

==Lego Case 2==
[[File:Rpilegocase.gif|thumb|right|100px|Another Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user kimondo]]

I had a bit of a play in lego designer with the idea of a vertical case – the USB / ethernet would emerge from the top, and the power usb would be on the bottom – possibly using a right angled usb connector. It's possible to alter the sides to allow for gaps for the various bits that stick out. There are lots of transparent bricks available – also includes a 2 x 2 brick to stick the raspberry pi sticker on.

==Printable Mylar Sheet Fold-up Case==

[[File:R-Pi_Mylar_Print-n-Fold_Case_Thick_Small.gif|right|200px|"tzj" Printable Mylar sheet case]]

[http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/projects-and-collaboration-general/printable-cases-using-ohp-film RaspberryPi.org forum user "eric_baird"] thought of printing an outline of the walls of a case on a Mylar overhead projector (OHP) sheet or cardboard that could then be cut out and folded into a case. Multiple users have since
drawn such cases that can be printed on a Mylar sheet, thick paper, card stock, cardboard. The printed parts can be cut with a sharp knife or scissors and then folded/assembled into the case.

Multiple models are available:

[http://pdfcast.org/pdf/raspberry-pi-card-case-revision-1 The foldable case from "tzj"] (currently based on the model B beta board).

[http://elinux.org/images/0/0c/Raspberry-sandwich-1-0.pdf The foldable case from "alexisread"] originally posted [http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/projects-and-collaboration-general/case-design-internal-mounting-raspberry-sandwich here].

[http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=6500 The foldable case from "Andrew K"] is based on measurements of an actual Raspberry Pi model B and fits snugly.

[http://h2database.com/raspi The foldable case from Thomas Mueller] is (arguably) a bit more stylish. It stays closed without glue, and can be re-opened.

# Cutter
# Glues : sticker and gel

How to :

# Print the templates with the right scale
# Validate the sizes
# Glue the template on the board using the glue sticker
# Cut, assemble and glue using the glue gel
# If the RPi will stay powered for a long time. A few vent holes could be added

Final touch:

# Print a Raspberry Pi logo and glue it

As yet, the foundation does not provide cases for the Raspberry Pi. The small form factor or low power draw however, allow you to put it in almost everything.

==Lego Case==
[[File:R-Pi case, Lego, prototype.png|thumb|right|The Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user eric_baird]]

I just had a go at knocking up a quick Lego case prototype. Since I don't know the metrics of all the connections, it's a bit of a "proof of concept" right now, but since's it's not exactly difficult to take out any offending side-pieces and move them if they're in the way of a beloved connector, I'm assuming that this isn't a big deal.

Also, because of the thin side-walls, a bit of additional hacksawing or dremeling shouldn't be too difficult.

I've limited myself to only using pieces that are currently available from Lego's "Pick a Brick" shop, in red. :)

I've tried to fit everything into an 8*12 grid footprint, which will hopefully fit … but I don't have the specs of the thickness of the thin wall-pieces, so no guarantees. One thing that might screw things up is the height of the board's connectors: I don't know whether they'll all fit within the upper and lower lip of the side-wall pieces. If the board's "USB port stack" is too high, I guess the "roof" could be raised by a tile or two.

I knocked it up with Lego's Digital Designer program (free [http://ldd.lego.com/download/ download] from their site). The critical Lego piece is the repeated hollowed-out "side wall" ("[") brick ("wall element 1*2*2, w. window"), which you'll find on LDD's parts palette behind the little "door" symbol, or under the Pick a Brick page, as element #4507686, design #60032 (red), cost 8 pence each.

Feel free to hack, mangle or otherwise rework.

==Lego Case 2==
[[File:Rpilegocase.gif|thumb|right|100px|Another Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user kimondo]]

I had a bit of a play in lego designer with the idea of a vertical case – the USB / ethernet would emerge from the top, and the power usb would be on the bottom – possibly using a right angled usb connector. It's possible to alter the sides to allow for gaps for the various bits that stick out. There are lots of transparent bricks available – also includes a 2 x 2 brick to stick the raspberry pi sticker on.

The case is well suited to Green enthusiasts as it can easily be made with only reused or reclaimed parts as well as to emulation enthusiasts and to users with limited resources and design skill (you only need to know how to use a screwdriver to make the whole thing).

==An 4€ RPi Foam Board Case==
When having an RPi for 30€, buying a 15€ case is quit expensive. I decided to create this case.
This is an easy DIY case made with 3 mm art foam board. It takes around 1 hour of cut and glue time. Nice to make it when it's raining outside.

The .dxf file designed by [[User:Hj-alceol|Henri Jubin]] should be printed at scale 1:1 just download it and print it using libreCad.

[[File:Raspberry-pi-3mm-foamboard-case.dxf‎|Raspberry Pi Foam Case]]

A few dimensions are written in the dxf file. Please check the sizes when printing.

You should need:

# An 21x29.7 Art foam Cardboard
# Cutter
# Glues : sticker and gel

How to :

# Print the template with the right scale
# Validate the sizes
# Glue the template on the board using the glue sticker
# Cut, assemble and glue using the glue gel
# If the RPi will stay powered for a long time. A few vent holes could be added

Final touch:

# Print a Raspberry Pi logo and glue it

# RPi Art FoamCardboard case

== An 4€ RPi case ==
When having an RPi for 30€, buying a 15€ case is quit expensive. I decided to create this case. You just need :
# An 21x29.7 Art foam Cardboard
# Cutter
# Glue (the gel kind is the best

How to :
# Print the template with the right scale
# Validate the sizes
# Cut and glue
# If the RPi will stay powered for a long time. A few vent holes could be added
Final touch
# Print a Raspberry Pi logo and glue it

== RPNuino ==
This project aims to interface an Arduino stack thru the standard USB port. It will be coupled with an RPN kindof calculator allowing a Php/Apache stack to send commands and retrieve information on the Arduino.

The RPi runs under Arch linux with only the eth0 connection.

Work in progress !

==Lego Case==
[[File:R-Pi case, Lego, prototype.png|thumb|right|The Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user eric_baird]]

I just had a go at knocking up a quick Lego case prototype. Since I don't know the metrics of all the connections, it's a bit of a "proof of concept" right now, but since's it's not exactly difficult to take out any offending side-pieces and move them if they're in the way of a beloved connector, I'm assuming that this isn't a big deal.

Also, because of the thin side-walls, a bit of additional hacksawing or dremeling shouldn't be too difficult.

I've limited myself to only using pieces that are currently available from Lego's "Pick a Brick" shop, in red. :)

I've tried to fit everything into an 8*12 grid footprint, which will hopefully fit … but I don't have the specs of the thickness of the thin wall-pieces, so no guarantees. One thing that might screw things up is the height of the board's connectors: I don't know whether they'll all fit within the upper and lower lip of the side-wall pieces. If the board's "USB port stack" is too high, I guess the "roof" could be raised by a tile or two.

I knocked it up with Lego's Digital Designer program (free [http://ldd.lego.com/download/ download] from their site). The critical Lego piece is the repeated hollowed-out "side wall" ("[") brick ("wall element 1*2*2, w. window"), which you'll find on LDD's parts palette behind the little "door" symbol, or under the Pick a Brick page, as element #4507686, design #60032 (red), cost 8 pence each.

Feel free to hack, mangle or otherwise rework.

==Lego Case 2==
[[File:Rpilegocase.gif|thumb|right|100px|Another Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user kimondo]]

I had a bit of a play in lego designer with the idea of a vertical case – the USB / ethernet would emerge from the top, and the power usb would be on the bottom – possibly using a right angled usb connector. It's possible to alter the sides to allow for gaps for the various bits that stick out. There are lots of transparent bricks available – also includes a 2 x 2 brick to stick the raspberry pi sticker on.

==Lego Case==
[[File:R-Pi case, Lego, prototype.png|thumb|right|The Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user eric_baird]]

I just had a go at knocking up a quick Lego case prototype. Since I don't know the metrics of all the connections, it's a bit of a "proof of concept" right now, but since's it's not exactly difficult to take out any offending side-pieces and move them if they're in the way of a beloved connector, I'm assuming that this isn't a big deal.

Also, because of the thin side-walls, a bit of additional hacksawing or dremeling shouldn't be too difficult.

I've limited myself to only using pieces that are currently available from Lego's "Pick a Brick" shop, in red. :)

I've tried to fit everything into an 8*12 grid footprint, which will hopefully fit … but I don't have the specs of the thickness of the thin wall-pieces, so no guarantees. One thing that might screw things up is the height of the board's connectors: I don't know whether they'll all fit within the upper and lower lip of the side-wall pieces. If the board's "USB port stack" is too high, I guess the "roof" could be raised by a tile or two.

I knocked it up with Lego's Digital Designer program (free [http://ldd.lego.com/download/ download] from their site). The critical Lego piece is the repeated hollowed-out "side wall" ("[") brick ("wall element 1*2*2, w. window"), which you'll find on LDD's parts palette behind the little "door" symbol, or under the Pick a Brick page, as element #4507686, design #60032 (red), cost 8 pence each.

Feel free to hack, mangle or otherwise rework.

==Lego Case 2==
[[File:Rpilegocase.gif|thumb|right|100px|Another Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user kimondo]]

I had a bit of a play in lego designer with the idea of a vertical case – the USB / ethernet would emerge from the top, and the power usb would be on the bottom – possibly using a right angled usb connector. It's possible to alter the sides to allow for gaps for the various bits that stick out. There are lots of transparent bricks available – also includes a 2 x 2 brick to stick the raspberry pi sticker on.

==Lego Case==
[[File:R-Pi case, Lego, prototype.png|thumb|right|The Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user eric_baird]]

I just had a go at knocking up a quick Lego case prototype. Since I don't know the metrics of all the connections, it's a bit of a "proof of concept" right now, but since's it's not exactly difficult to take out any offending side-pieces and move them if they're in the way of a beloved connector, I'm assuming that this isn't a big deal.

Also, because of the thin side-walls, a bit of additional hacksawing or dremeling shouldn't be too difficult.

I've limited myself to only using pieces that are currently available from Lego's "Pick a Brick" shop, in red. :)

I've tried to fit everything into an 8*12 grid footprint, which will hopefully fit … but I don't have the specs of the thickness of the thin wall-pieces, so no guarantees. One thing that might screw things up is the height of the board's connectors: I don't know whether they'll all fit within the upper and lower lip of the side-wall pieces. If the board's "USB port stack" is too high, I guess the "roof" could be raised by a tile or two.

I knocked it up with Lego's Digital Designer program (free [http://ldd.lego.com/download/ download] from their site). The critical Lego piece is the repeated hollowed-out "side wall" ("[") brick ("wall element 1*2*2, w. window"), which you'll find on LDD's parts palette behind the little "door" symbol, or under the Pick a Brick page, as element #4507686, design #60032 (red), cost 8 pence each.

Feel free to hack, mangle or otherwise rework.

==Lego Case 2==
[[File:Rpilegocase.gif|thumb|right|100px|Another Rpi Lego case, designed by forum user kimondo]]

I had a bit of a play in lego designer with the idea of a vertical case – the USB / ethernet would emerge from the top, and the power usb would be on the bottom – possibly using a right angled usb connector. It's possible to alter the sides to allow for gaps for the various bits that stick out. There are lots of transparent bricks available – also includes a 2 x 2 brick to stick the raspberry pi sticker on.
