RPi-House

Wed Aug 08, 2012 3:42 pm

Hi everyone, I designed an RPi enclosure made from laser cut acrylic. This laser cut Raspberry Pi enclosure is designed to be beautiful and easy to assemble. The case is made of 6 pieces that snaps together. No need for glue, screws, nuts & bolts, flimsy hinges, rubber-bands, or wedges. All the Pi's connectors on the edges are accessible: HDMI, Audio, Video, SD Slot, Micro USB Power, Ethernet, 2 USB ports. There is even a slot for a 26-Pin IDC cable for GPIO pins access. Check out the photos

I posted the files and instructions on

that's a fantastic answer to the question "how could you make a plastic case with no screws/glue?"

really clever stuff!

Hi,

Would you consider sharing the design for your RPi House (for those who have access to a laser cutter)? I am happy to make a donation to yourself. :D

I love the design - It is a lot smarter than some 'professional' ones.

Thanks,
JoeLuca
