New UK-built Raspberry Pi does not fit in case

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hi,

Has anyone else had problems with the latest UK built Pi units not fitting into a case?

My brand new 512MB Raspberry Pi purchased from CPC does not fit into their Cyntech Deluxe Case (case product code SC12833).

The USB connector is the problem; its flange is slightly too large - they appear to have sourced the part from a different manufacturer.

My older Pi (256MB model) fits the case perfectly.

    Is the 256 mb version a version a or b. In other words does it have one or two usb ports. It is probably that the 512 mb version has 2 usb ports and the 256 version has just the 1

    No, they are both the Model B, with the two stacked USB ports.

    The case itself is designed for use with either the A or the B.

    ok but how can you use it with both of the models of the pi. Unless there is a gap for the ethernet and the gap for the usb big enough for 2.

    The case has knock-out blanking covers on the gaps for ethernet and the second USB port - basically plastic tabs that you can snap off if you have the model B.

    Why don't you rout some additional space for the excess flange. This would allow for the additional flange.
