Raspberry Pi Custom Case Files

Here are the files for the Raspberry Pi case. I used 6mm wood and lasered it with my Epilog Mini 40 Watt laser.

    That was a great episode. I have downloaded you case design to see about making one. Could you share the circuit diagram for the GIOP cartages? I am interested in the buffer you have to protect the PI.

    Thanks

    Thx for sharing, could you post also some other format? Say EPS for example?

    Hi,

     

    I downloaded the zip and was quite diappointed.  Firstly, it consists mainly of data sheets. The file ENG_CD_147490_G.pdf has a couple of schematics that are pretty meaningless.  There isn't even a README file.

     

    Lastly, and most importantly, the critical file with the case layout is an Adobe Ilustrator file!  I really don't think that the kind of people that this project will appeal to will want to pay over 500 units of the local currency in order to see the plans of this case.

     

    Yes, I assume that there may exist plenty of places in the USA that have wood/laser cutter services and you expect anyone picking up this file to simply send it on to one of these, but what about people who do not have such access, and merely want to look at the plans in order to adapt/replicate in other ways?

     

    Could you provide the plans in a more industry standard importable form so that, e.g. sketchup could read them?  What about DXF ?

    This Case works great and looks great. Strong as well as attracts attention.

    Can you provide us with a PDF conversion of the AI file? I do not seem to have anything to open it. I want to see if a local shop can replicate this.

    Where can we get a demo or schematic of the "cartridges" you have?

    Thanks you, Ben for all you work.
