Mini Tower Computer Case for the Raspberry Pi 5

Mini-Tower Computer Case for the Raspberry Pi 5 with acrylic windows and NVME daughter board. Any NVME HAT should do the trick but I used the slim ElectroCookie one for its minimalist style and quality.

The case clips. You can add a M3 screw in the back of the case but it is optional.

I used 2mm acrylic windows because they are easy to cut to size (98mm x 87 mm). You can use the many 4-inch or 3.5-inch or 7-inch or 100mm ones sold online and remove just a tiny bit of material. I did not glue the windows as I designed the case to hold them in place.

DO NOT USE MY GCODE FILES. I have a MK4 with the MMU3. Simply reslice for your printer. I provided the gcode files for proper time estimates in printables.com. These gcode files use the first and second colors. This model is single-colored, though.

The ST7789 screen was meant to eventually display CPU load, free disk space %, swap file use, etc. I wrote some basic (meaning awful…) Python code to test it, which can be found at https://github.com/PhLacoude/FrontScreenST7789
