Any chance you'd be willing to put up the files for the case somewhere? I have a 40mm fan and a Pi on the way that I'd like to put together.

- jrockway 7y agoIt's this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3723481 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3723481 I printed it honeycomb infill and no top/bottom layers (and also rotated it so it printed with the top and bottom on the bed, instead of upright; having to change that might be an artifact of the slicer I used, though; Simplify3D)

- geerlingguy 7y agoI actually bought the official case and drilled out a hole for a Pi-Fan (you can get them on Amazon or most places that have Pi's and accessories), 1 1/8". I mounted the fan on the top case and plugged it into the 5V and GND GPIO pins, and it keeps the Pi nice and cool. I'm working on a blog post and YouTube video with the full details, but it's not that difficult an operation, and I liked the look/size of the official Pi case more than a printed case or one of the thousands of knockoffs. I do agree with the parent that a fan (active cooling) is absolutely necessary on the Pi 4, more so than any before, as the CPU is not the only part on the board putting out a lot more heat than previous generations—that heat needs to move somewhere.
