Raspberry Pi Model B Cases?

Wwessex

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a case for the Model B?

Parents

  • I gather Farnell/Element14 are going to start selling cases for the Pi soon.

     

    Anyone know what they will look like, or estimated costs?

  • in reply to Former Member

    Farnell/Element 14/Newark will have the Bud units available for pre-order and sale on their site by early next week.  They are still developing pricing, but the boxes should be in the $7-12 range depending on box and quantity.

    I'm interested that the ModMyPi people, despite their earlier stout defence of 3D printing, now say (on their website) that their cases will be injection moulded. (Quote: "Injection Moulding is an incredibly efficient mode of  production").

    I have a feeling that they (ModMyPi) received a lot more orders than expected, which didn't really make 3D printing a time (and probably cost!) effective option.

     

    The do seem to be offering a fairly priced and attractive product though.

    I believe ModMyPi got too many orders...  3D printing costs a lot of time

    Costs is just the energy and the plastic, so about 1 euro a piece... if you don't count the cost of the 3D printer

     

    Someone printed my case on thingiverse , tweaked some settings, and put a Pi in it...

    A video was uploaded on YouTube showing some of the features of Bud's Pi Plate for the Raspberry Pi. First samples look really good

    I really like this design. I am drawn to the rectangular format more than the round one.

     

    Slipping the pi into the shirt pocket is convenient.

    Thanks Douglas.  I see the benefit of the "on the go" version which would be the rectangle one.  The round one is designed to sit on a desk and may be more for schools or municipalities who are using it.

    Here is the second case we created called the Pi Sandwhich

    It solves the problem of a low cost raspberry pi case that allows for expansion on the board or the shifting of components on the Raspberry Pi itself.

    We have updated our video to include positive features of the Raspberry Pi (Sandwich) case

     

    Check it out...

    Hi

    Just an idea for a cheap case until something good comes along. Looks like it will fit with a little dremmel work.

     

    Still waiting for my Pi to arrive to confirm
