Raspberry Pi 4 SnapFit Case Geekworm X857 SSD Board

This is a Raspberry Pi 4 case that has been enlarged to accommodate a Geekworm / Suptronics SSD adapter board (tested on a X857 v2 board).

There are two versions - a standalone case and another that can be attached to a UK power socket to keep the Pi tidy and out of the way, rather than having it on the floor.

I use it as my main Zigbee2mqtt coordinator that acts as a hub for 80+ Zigbee devices that in turn connects to my Home Assistant automation software.

As an added bonus, I designed an antenna extender to help reduce interference from the Pi and SSD electronics, secured with small zip-ties.

I designed it to mount above the socket because sometimes they can be quite close to the floor, plus I wanted my zigbee2mqtt module be as high as possible to help with the Zigbee range.

The Top cover snaps into place so no screws are required.

I have included the model STEP files so that you can easily modify the model for your own needs.
