This is an update for my Raspberry Pi 400 Case.

This is three altered parts that allow for the use of a 180 degree USB adapter from Ali Express.

 

I did a similar update for use with a 180 degree adapted from Amazon.

This one is different. Very arguably better than that one. 

The adapter from Amazon had a thick rubber housing on it that can cause physical space conflicts with USB accessories plugged into adjacent ports. 

 

Also that adapter only comes are part of a two pack and the second adapter that comes in the two pack is inverted - does not/cannot work with this project in any useful way.

 

On the other hand this one you have to order from China, so there's that. It did come quite fast to my house in the USA - about 2 weeks from time I ordered.

 

This one is narrower so there is no physical space conflicts with adjacent ports. 

 

Also it is a little bit taller so it prevents some potential space conflicts when used with some USB to SATA cables with thick boots around the USB connector.


And you can buy this one in a single pack, without a superfluous UP adapter that you don't need for this project.

You need the DOWN model. # DIY-022DO

 

 

The STRUCTURE parts with this listing are the same as the other update and they're the ones referred to as UPDATED in the original listing. But I figured I'd include them here so that there's no confusion about the fact that you need to use them.
