This is a sleeve style case for a Raspberry Pi 3B+ to allow you to attach your Octopi server to the bottom of your Ikea LACK enclosure, or to the wall of a cabinet, etc.  It makes it easy to mount or unmount the Raspberry Pi for updates or maintenance without any tools.  It was inspired by the sleeve designs by Wilko, and I opened up the ventilation a little more, as well as provided access to the Raspberry Pi header pins to connect temp sensors, or relay control, etc.

Update:  There are now multiple versions of the sleeve which include options with a slot for Raspberrry Pi Camera cable, and access to the HDMI port to connect a display for easier maintenance when out of the mounting bracket.  

The base of the sleeve is flared out to work with the included mounting bracket.  The bracket is attached with four M3 wood screws and the sleeve easily slides in and out of the bracket.  You can adjust the amount of friction holding the sleeve in the bracket by tightening or loosening the M3 screws holding the mount to the surface.  Even if the fit is very loose, the sleeve is still held securely in the bracket with the micro-USB power plug locking it into place.

Update:  An alternate bracket is available with matching cutout for HDMI port in case you want to use a display when mounted.
