PiCase: the Ultimate Pi-Shaped Raspberry Pi Case | 3D Printable | Pi Shaped Raspberry Pi Case | Raspberry Pi Stand|Pi Sign|Passive Cooling Ventilation

To celebrate the mathematical wonder of π and the power of the Raspberry Pi, I designed a custom 3D-printed Raspberry Pi case for the Pi 5 shaped like the pi symbol itself. This unique enclosure blends form and function, featuring airflow vents styled as π digits, with ports integrated seamlessly into the structure’s curves. It’s a playful, math-inspired design that protects your hardware while paying homage to circles, computation, and the infinite beauty of pi. Below are all the instructions and files, including STLs for printing and the F3D file for the model itself so that you can remix it!

1. 3D Printer (I used a Bambu P1S)
2. 3D Printer Slicer (I used Orca Slicer)
3. 3D Printer Filament (I used multiple almost empty PLA rolls to create the Pi, so that is why it is multi-colored)
4. Raspberry Pi 5 (Optional, as you can use this model just for decoration too!)
5. STL Files (Included on the Instructables!)

Click on the STL File linked on this Instructable to download it.

Open your slicer of choice (I used Orca Slicer) and drag the STL file onto the print bed. Make sure the Pi is rotated so the compartment faces up, as this eliminates the need for supports.

The above images are the settings I used for my print profile and balance speed, strength, material usage, and quality. These are the settings I used, however, every printer is different, and you may have different options and controls. If you are using a Bambu Labs P1S printer, below is the exact 3MF print file I used. Otherwise, follow the above information to create your own!

The print does not need any scaffolding if oriented with the Raspberry Pi Cavity facing up.

Print the sliced file and insert the Pi into the shelled out compartment. Run cabling down the side. Congratulations, you now have two Pis!

You can also remix the attached F3D File! Enjoy, and happy making.
