This is a Case for Pi 4 and Pi 5 that supports the Geekworm video capture hat. The hat routes HDMI input through the CSI-2 port on the Raspberry pi so that it behaves more like a pi camera. It also has a low latency HDMI loop back to get video output making the Pi excellent for a simple video streaming setup.

If you do not wish to use the HDMI video capture hat, the extra head room in the case would be suite able for other Pi hats. You might prefer an AI hat or NVME SSD hat. For this reason, I've included versions of the case with and without the HDMI ports included.

The default bottom of the case has raised feet and slots in the base to allow air flow. This design requires a lot of bridging and may be hard for some printers to print effectively and I'm not sure how much this helps with cooling, but I though it looked cool. For a simpler solution, I also included versions with flat bottoms that are quicker and easier to print.

Modifications

I welcome any modification from the community. I would appreciate referencing this original design in any remixes or modifications that you post. 

I designed this case for a specific hat, but I left a blank area on the back plane that could be used for adding other ports provided by other hats. I welcome mods for new hat support. I left the top and sides largely blank. This would be a good place to add custom designs or ventilation.
