Differences of the remix compared to the original

Raspberry Pi 5 case with screws and heat inserts and maybe optional multicolor logo.

In order to use it you need 4 M2.5 heat inserts(I used the CNC Kitchen ones) and 4 M2.5x8mm flat head screws.

This design differs from the original as following:

  • the raspberry pi is fixed by both bottom part and top part, this is very important while moving the part, the original one was only using the tight fit of the case which would have definitely damaged the micro SD card when transported
  • more space to the micro SD
  • it's using heat inserts and screws, I got really tired of getting the perfect printer profile to get a good snap fit that resists with multiple open/close operations
  • I recreated it from scratch in FreeCAD using some STEP exports from the original model(I do own an EDU license of Fusion 360 but it requires too much resources and it's slow on my end-and I also wanted to learn FreeCAD).
  • it has a raspberry pi logo
  • it has legends for type of USBs and LAN
  • doesn't rely on snap fit
  • top and bottom walls are 3mm thick instead of the old 1.5mm
