Now settle in to watch one thrifty crafter go from a plastic bottle to folding Raspberry Pi case right before your eyes. @function.3d ♬ Mozart Minuet with violin (815356) - 松本一策 ...

I was tired of pi cases that block all of the airflow to the chip and that costed insane amount of money for a piece of plastic. All of the 3d printed options are looking lowkey goofy and kinda ...

When we published the first how-to guide for 3D printing an Astro Pi case and making a working replica of the unit, it was immediately popular. We saw an exciting range of cases being produced.

The build is probably what you’re expecting — it’s essentially a Raspberry Pi (in this case a 4B), a V2 Pi camera, and a handful of custom 3D-printed parts.

The case does not impede airflow, which is crucial since the Raspberry Pi 4 is known to overheat. Users are advised to consider using heat sinks to further manage the temperature of the device.

Offering the 3D files for Project: North Pi for free is very cool, and it will be interesting to see if this could translate to larger mini-tower-style cases where users download and 3D print ...
