Case?

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi!

 

  I'm looking for a professional-looking case for a Raspberry + Explore-NFC card.

  Unfortunately, the card seems badly designed to properly fit on a B+ or 2, will I have to use an older B model?

  Is 3D printing the only option?

    I am not aware of any specific case to accommodate the Pi + Explore-NFC card.

    You could use a standard enclosure of course, just refrain from using a metal one.

    Other that that you could try 3D Printing one.

    Whenever we want a nice look (and want to show the insides) we use clear plastic (probably acrylic) and mount the board(s) in a sandwich using spacers. Looks nice.

    That just needs a hacksaw or machine cutting, and sand+polished edges, or a laser cut.

    If you want to fully enclose it, there are plenty of enclosures available from Farnell as Paul mentioned, and holes/slots can be cut as desired.

    Standard cases don't fit because the Explore-NFC card is too long for a RPi B+! :-(
    I need a professional-looking case for a finished product...

    Jean-Marc,

    I just have read your post. Have you found a solution for the professional case you were looking for?

    I am in the same situation.

    Thank you,

    Pierre-Jean
