Pocket Orange Pi Zero 2W

Purpose

I wanted a pocket-size case, but with some requirements. It had to have room for:

• an LED 💡
• a power button 📴
• room for heatsinks, because this SBC has a lot of juice and it gets hot 🔥

Features

• Perfect fit.
• No wasted space.
• Shadow line.
• Power status indicator (LED 3 mm).
• Power button.
• Vent holes.

Bill of Materials

* These are all affiliate link.

- 4 pins of type 2.54 mm Right Angle Single Row Pin Header Male. Technically, you can do without these pins, and solder the wires directly onto the Orange Pi PCB.
- 4 x M2 x L8mm/L10mm SHCS Self Tapping
- 1 x 3mm LED
- 1 x Push pin 6x6x6x3.5mm

Button Behaviour

1. The button blinks while pressed.
2. After 3 seconds (adjustable), the OPi will shutdown.
3. The light turns off (some pins continue to provide power after shutdown, however, so there might be some light).

Print Settings

• Supports only for the bottom piece (for the bolt head holes).
• Print parts are oriented.

Code For Button and LED Functionality

Notes

• The LED is a press fit. If you have trouble getting it in, just sand the hole down a bit, but I never had to in all my drafts (PLA/PETG). I used tweezers to press it in.

Models Used During Development

• microSD
• Orange Pi Zero 2W
• Push pin/power button
