30 Fantastic Raspberry Pi 3 Cases to 3D Print

There is an article at the ALL3DP site that is really cool and nerdy. It is on cases for the Raspberry Pi board and they are 3-D printed. The article provides and information on the design, on who made it and where it can be downloaded from. The have photos of the different cases that they report on plus information on the cases.

The Raspberry Pi is an affordable little computer board that (per the site) one can learn code with. They have a blog. They have downloads. There is a community section. There is a help section. There is a forum section. There is an education section. The have a magazine called MagPi that one can download.

One of my pet peeves about cases is how plain and boring they are. It is just a box. One could make it a little more interesting with some color and/or stickers. One could add the companies logo; sticker or in 3-D. Most seem to be a plain boring box that is just a box.

The ALL3DP site is a 3-D printer new site. It covers both the hardware and the software. It also covers projects one can do with a 3-D printer. They have some interesting articles on or related to 3-D printing.

There are other sites that cover 3-D printing. I am checking them out.

I came across a site - years ago - with custom cases for the mini-itx boards. It is Mini-Itx. They have a section where people created custom cases for this board. Mini-Itx Projects.

This is one of the cases shown. I included a photo from the article site since I like it resembles an old gaming console. Perhaps one could use it with an game emulator to 'recreate' the game console? I like how one can chose the colors. 

I think this is cool since it resembles the PAC Man character from the game of the same name. It too is shown on the article site. 

I think this is neat since it is a mini-tower for a mini board. The article has others cool cases but I just chose these three to give an example of what was done on the site. I like the use of colors and the Raspberry Pi logo on the side.
