Create a customized, 3D-printed case for the Raspberry Pi
Conclusion
Making the DIY case requires more effort than buying one off the shelf. In particular, it can be difficult to find the appropriate components and cables. Even so, it is lots of fun to experiment and create your own product. Users who enjoy playing with Lego blocks will appreciate the additional freedom offered by CAD.
The STL file format for exporting from Tinkercad is universally acknowledged as an input format for 3D printing. Modifications to optimize a file for the 3D print service provider are not all that easy. Nonetheless, the online platform is a good choice for beginners. Once the user has a little experience, the work is easy to complete.
