Malolo's screw-less / snap fit Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Case & Stands
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
There already is a plethora of raspberry pi cases on Thingiverse and the last thing we need is yet another one ... well - I created one anyway ... because I wanted to and I had a lot of fun doing it :-).
I tried to achieve the following key features:
* Easy to print without support (no steep overhangs or long bridges and stuff).
* Top and bottom layer printable on print surface (so I could make good use of my recently acquired awesome powder-coated/textured print sheet).
* No screws or glue needed (snap fit).
* Slim/compact outline.
* Acceptable ventilation without fan.
* Good looking (very subjective - I know).
* I also wanted a stand to put it on.
I tested this design with 0.2mm and 0.1mm layer height. Both work well. I would recommend to use PETG for better heat resistance.
I tested this for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. It may work for models with similar layout as well but since this is the only one I own I can't verify this.
I also made a [Raspberry Pi 4 version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3723561).
If you have any questions, suggestions or requests don't hesitate to let me know.
