So after a ton of fiddling around I have finally printed something useful! A case for my Raspberry Pi 3B+. It’s not 100% but I’m pretty happy with it. Next steps are to set up Octoprint!

Thanks! I still need to dial it in a little as you could tell in the first layer that my z-offset was a little off and I think I need to turn on ironing so that the top layers are nice and flat so the two halves go together nicely (there are a few small imperfections that prevent a tight fit). But that’s part of the learning.

Looks good!

I think I like your case more than the ones I printed.

Thanks! I chose this one because it had a space for the pi camera ribbon cable to go through. The case that came with the pi didn’t for some weird reason.

Now I just have to figure out how and where the hell to mount the camera 😉
