Story
???? What is this project about?
This project is about turning a basic Raspberry Pi case into a piece of functional art through 3D printing.
Pi in Armor isn’t just a protective shell — it’s a statement. Designed with both aesthetics and airflow in mind, it adds personality to your Pi setup while ensuring optimal cooling, easy port access, and stackable modularity. Whether you're into retro themes, futuristic tech, or minimalist design, this case is fully customizable to match your vibe.
???? How does it work?
The case is designed using CAD software (SolidWorks) and 3D printed in PLA or PETG. It features:
Screw-lock assembly for ease.
Ventilation slots for cooling efficiency.
GPIO port cutouts.
Modular design for expansion (HATs, fans, heatsinks).
It can be used in various projects — from coding stations to home automation or even Raspberry Pi-based 3D printers!
???? Why this project matters
This case project is more than just plastic around a board — it's a stepping stone for makers. It:
Encourages creativity in hardware presentation.
Helps beginners learn 3D modeling and printing.
Offers protection and airflow, increasing Pi longevity.
Inspires others to turn utility into art.
By sharing this design, I hope to spark innovation in the community and show how small ideas, when executed well, can make a big impact.
