No

Resolution:

Infill:

30%

Filament:

3D Solutech PLA

What ever color you chose.

Notes:

The case is designed to be printed with a .4 mm nozzle

I found that printing the status viewing lens is best with 1 perimeter and 100% fill. To color the raised text, I used a black magic marker.

Note The status viewing lens can be printed with other than clear or translucent material. The darker the color the less illumination will be viewable through the lens.

Post-Printing

Built in support material for the screw holes needs to be removed. I used an X-Acto knife to remove it but a drill bit works too.

The case screws utilize self threading into the case standoffs. Pre-threading prior to assembly is advised.

Needed hardware:

• Case screws
  • 4 M2.5 x 8 mm screws
• Fan Screws (Either the hardware supplied with the fan or the following)
  • 4 M2.5 x 12 mm screws
  • 4 M2.5 nuts
• Mounting hardware
  • 2 M5 x 10 mm screws for 3030 extrusion mounting.
  or 2 M5 x 8 mm screws for 2020 extrusion mounting.
  • 2 M5 hammerhead nuts
• 30 x 30 x 7 mm fan

Additional Notes:

*When assembling the case to the Raspberry Pi verify that the fan screws clear the CPU heatsinks. (Screws supplied with the fan are usually longer than 12 mm.)

• To insure that the nuts do not come loose, place a small drop of glue to hold then in place on the screws.
