piBOX where to begin... Due to the current state of the world and looking for a project to keep myself busy, I figured I would make my own raspberry pi case and improve my skills in 3d modeling. I began making very basic cases and just was not happy with anything that I was making. Then looking at my original xbox one day the thought hit me and thus the pi box was born. After hours of modeling and proto typing it I can finally release it for others to enjoy.

walls - 4 infill - 10% speed - slower is better supports - yes, you will need them for the roof inside

This fits my pi 3b+ with lots of room to spare, I made a case for the pi4 but do not have a pi to test it out so if you want to print it and give me some info I will update the stl.

switch: https://tinyurl.com/y9s8zmrg

resistors(330ohm): https://tinyurl.com/y76cwh6g

• On/Off switch solder the wires to the switch using my diagram. Install the switch wires to GPIO 6 and 5(green and blue wires) these will be your on/off.

• LED solder the 330ohm resistor to the negative of the switch(the switch has -+). Put some electrical tape or heat shrink over the resistor and solder joints. Connect the wires to GPIO 8 and 9(red and black with 330ohm resistor)

• Fan Install the cooler and use the wires I linked or remove the double connector and switch them to singles. Connect them to GPIO 4 and 14

Next you will need to install a script. I used this guide and this script https://tinyurl.com/yykhzvx2

ssh into the pi or press f4 while connected to the pi with a keyboard. Once in the the command window type

• git clone http://github.com/Howchoo/pi-power-button.git

then

• ./pi-power-button/script/install

now to activate the led on the switch we need to edit the config.txt. Now type

• sudo nano /boot/config.txt

now scroll down to the bottom and add

• enable_uart=1

then save with ctrl x and press y to save it. Now reboot your pi by typing

• sudo reboot
