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.

Once the user has a little experience, the work is easy to complete.
