Back to RPi Hardware Basic Setup.


Contents

RaspPi.png Back to the Hub


Hardware & Peripherals:

Hardware - detailed information about the Raspberry Pi boards.

Hardware History - guide to the Raspberry Pi models.

Low-level Peripherals - using the GPIO and other connectors.

Expansion Boards - GPIO plug-in boards providing additional functionality.

Screens - attaching a screen to the Raspberry Pi.

Cases - lots of nice cases to protect the Raspberry Pi.

Other Peripherals - all sorts of peripherals used with the Raspberry Pi.


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.


Secret book case

Secret book case for Raspberry Pi

This case can be made from any book. It is home made so you can choose any cover, format, etc. When put next to other cables, the trick is perfect. Cables connected to the Raspberry Pi are barely distinguishable from the other cables and you now have a perfectly hidden computer.

Instructions to make a secret book case for Raspberry Pi


Lego Case

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 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

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.

Raspberry Pi Case made from a single sheet of polypropylene (PP)

Raspberry Pi case from IP Adelt

Strong case cut from a single sheet of polypropylene using a cutting plotter (video), made in Germany by IP Adelt. Here's the story. Sold via RaspiProjekt.de to the whole world - in a simple envelope!

Review of the Beta version of the case on the PiPod blog

Printable Mylar Sheet Fold-up Case

"tzj" Printable Mylar sheet case

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:

The foldable case from "tzj" (currently based on the model B beta board).

The foldable case from "alexisread" originally posted here.

The foldable case from "Andrew K" is based on measurements of an actual Raspberry Pi model B and fits snugly.

The foldable case from Thomas Mueller is (arguably) a bit more stylish. It stays closed without glue, and can be re-opened.

Short Crust Case

Short Crust Case for Raspberry Pi

Short Crust is a case for the Raspberry Pi which is designed to look attractive, be easy to use and be adaptable for different types of projects. It has a simple and elegant look and is designed to be used with a variety of projects – and look great whilst doing so. It features a very easy to use “snap in place” mounting method for the Raspberry Pi which keeps it very secure, but easy to remove from the case when you want to. It uses a simple flat top cover, which makes it extremely easy for you to customise the case yourself – with different colours or materials. Additionally due to the brass screw thread mounting points you can customise the case in other ways – with extensions and stacking of components above the Raspberry Pi.

Cable management becomes a breeze with the Short Crust case, and it keeps your SD card very well protected due to its extended length.

Features include:

- Simple, clean design with easy access to all inputs and outputs.

- MicroUSB power relocated to the same side as USB and Ethernet ports for tidy cable management.

- Raspberry Pi snaps into place – secure, no rattling, and easily removable.

- Internal mounting holes for attaching the case directly to your project / prototype.

- Removable cover for hiding the RCA and 3.5mm audio ports when not in use.

- ‘Smoke’ tinted acrylic covers for a clean look while leaving the Raspberry Pi visible.

- Simple, flat covers to make it easier for you to create your own and customize the look of the case.

- Open top design with brass screw thread mounting points to allow user made, custom design extensions and stacking of components above the Raspberry Pi.

- SD card doesn’t protrude from the case – looks attractive, easily removable, protected from accidental knocks.

There are some short assembly instructions and videos for you which can be viewed at the following link: Assembly Instructions

Pi-Stack Raspberry Pi enclosure

RaspBerry Cover

Developed in-house and manufactured in the UK. One of a range of compatible acrylic products designed exclusively for the Raspberry Pi. While everyone else seems determined to "cover up his beauty from the world", the Pi-Stack exposes the Raspberry Pi elegantly from all 4 sides. Unlike some of the other designs the makers claim that this also allows access to all the GPIO pins. Currently available in "Gold", "Silver" and black with 10mm acrylic base and top. Currently sold in USA, Canada and Australia as well as the UK, via Ebay.


Here's a link to a video showing how the Pi-STACK can be cable managed to reduce the maze of wires normally hanging off the Raspberry Pi management

RepRap friendly cover for Raspberry Pi

RepRap Pi Cover

The Rep-Rap we have is not very reliable and is only really able to produce basic designs so this is a 6 part case that has to be glued together. There are 6 stl files here with construction notes.


Mega Drive / Genesis Case for Raspberry Pi

Mega Drive / Genesis Case by osholt

The design was thought up by osholt on the evening after receiving his Pi. The case is strictly DIY and an Instructable for it can be found at the Instructables website. 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).


RPIBOX

Our intention is to design a case for B model and provide that model of a functional protection, which all of us we will enjoy if you help me to achieve my objectives with your cooperation.

You can support al RPIBOX project at lanzanos.com. For more information visit at oficial forum and rpibox web RPIBOX black case RPIBOX white case

RaspBox

The RaspBox, a minimalistic design.

The RaspBox is made of two acrylic glass plates and four metallic spacers. All parts are hold together by eight screws. This minimalistic design comes from the Swiss company Yoctopuce. Originally, the RaspBox was just a pet-project, but as it was very appreciated within the company staff, the decision was made to bring it to the public. The design itself has been released under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License and can be downloaded from the product page. The finished product is also available from the Yoctopuce shop.


Known / Reliably 3D printable cases Cases

Two cases have been successfully printed on home 3D Printers so far. Both offer vented lid options for heat concerns. The main difference is one allows GPIO pin access for a cable, the other is either vented or entirely open on top.

Design One

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 :

  1. An 21x29.7 Art foam Cardboard
  2. Cutter
  3. Glues : sticker and gel

How to :

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

Final touch:

  1. Print a Raspberry Pi logo and glue it

The libreCad template files could be downloaded : File:Raspberry-pi-3mm-foamboard-case.dxf and the File:Raspberry-pi-3mm-foamboard-case-strips.dxf

The 3d views of the case, thank you Hervé C. for this nice design :

PI Sandwich Case

BUD PI Sandwich

BUD Industries is Proud to introduce The PI Sandwich Enclosure, designed for use with the Raspberry Pi microcomputer (not supplied) and to accommodate changes in component location on the board as well as the potential addition of components . The enclosures provide protection, flexibility and ease of access to all components with quick snap-in installation. This rectangular version is open on all four sides for direct access.


more details

I bought two of these at Jameco Electronics in Belmont, CA for $7 each. It's okay, but the board is not held tightly in place. You wand to plug in cables and the SD card before the board is snapped into place because the board will pop out otherwise, and could break the plastic pieces. The two sides of the case are identical. You have to gently rock the sides back and forth to disassemble the case without breaking anything.

Simple sandwich case

Sandwich case

Like me, most people do not have access to precision cutting tools like laser cutters. This makes it's rather difficult to do some of the intricate laser-cut case designs at home. So I decided to go with a simple sandwich case.

The case consists of:

  • Two sheets of 75x120 mm polycarbonate
  • Twelve 12 mm M5 countersunk hex screws
  • Six 25 mm round spacers

The spacers have a notch at 6 mm which holds the board in place between the sheets of polycarbonate. Sadly, my design isn't optimal since one of the spacers covers the GPIO pins.

This isn't the most beautiful case but I hope it inspires people to be creative and build their own case instead of just buying one. Building is fun!

MDF Curved Case for the Raspberry Pi

A case for the Raspberry Pi, using 3mm MDF, laser cut in a pattern that gives it a smooth curved appearance. The result is an object that stands out from the crowd, it hints at the technical Raspberry Pi inside, with a more natural rather than the typical high-tech look. This case started as a personal project/experiment, however it is now made in small batches for sale because many people requested one. It doesn't allow access to the analogue audio and video ports because these are behind a curved section of the case. Available from [1], the drawings are available on Thingiverse.

Proto Armour for Raspberry Pi

MobileApp Systems

ProtoArmourRapberryPiB+CameraBlackV3Slide.png



OVERVIEW

Proto Armour for Raspberry Pi protective enclosures are designed specifically for the very popular Raspberry Pi credit-card sized computers. Proto Armour is built for durability in the field and is best suited for applications where high performance and long-term availability are critical. Students, engineers and designers alike, all love the Raspberry Pi for its small size and big list of features and capabilities. While low cost and strong community support top the feature list, an area that challenges many Pi enthusiasts however is experienced first hand while breaking out connections to external hardware and peripherals. Attaching a few cables to the board immediately reveals how lightweight the device is and how vulnerable it is to physical harm. The Raspberry Pi, like most other development boards, is a small fully exposed circuit board with limited non-standard mounting features. Proto Armour for Raspberry Pi offers wrap-around protection and supplements the board's limited non-standard mounting capabilities with a host of structural support and standardized mounting features.

FEATURES

  • Durable Metal Construction
  • Structural Modular Design
  • Camera Board Mount
  • Passive Cooling
  • LED Indicators
  • Security Friendly
  • Affordable
