This is a case for the Elecrow 5Inch TFT Touch Screen (Resistance Touch) display. This display can be found on amazon (link provided father below). The display is sandwiched together with the PI using GPIO pins (uses 26pins). So far it has worked very well and its a compact set up.

There will be two versions, one to be used with a 40x20 fan and another without any fans. No nuts are required, here the bolts cut into the plastic.

**PI models compatible:

PI4B & PI3B (others might work, I'm just not sure)

Required Hardware: 4x M3x30mm screws**To secure body, longer M3 screws work too 2x M3x3mm or 2x M3x5mm Fan

This design uses very precise clearances, that means you need to have flow, horizontal expansion, and e-steps as well calibrated as possible, moreover, you might want to have sand paper or cutters ready just in case (you probably wont need to if everything is well calibrated).

The Pi sits on top of four small pillars which all have a 2mm cylinder at the top. This small cylinders fit within the PIs mounting hole pattern. The "Lid" has dividers which go in between the USB ports/ethernet port.

The PI stays in place with the use of the Lid dividers, Case pillars/cylinders, and the frictions of the GPIO pin connection.
