how do you get the case?

Any chance of updating this to the "b" version 2?

Does the pi-to-go fold up or is it stuck in the open position?

I do not have a 3d printer, but am interested in this. How much would it cost to have all the parts printed?

Is there anybody who printed this out on a Lulzbot AO-101? I bought this machine mainly so I could build a pi to go and I can't even print it out! I have tried everything I know of, including repG and still no dice. Any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated.

Can you tell me what problems you are having. I created the files in google sketchup and netfabb. I printed the files on my pp3dp UP! printer with no problems. I will try to resolved the problem for you if you can tell me in what part of the printing process you are having the problem.

My one complaint about this is the lack of GPIO access, which in my mind is the greatest advantage rPi has. Nevermind they put it in a strange spot I'd still like to use this for projects.

So awesome. Thanks for your work and for sharing!

Very cool with a great name to boot!

this is awesome!!!

Screen is pretty small though, could you use something like this?

I saw that one when I was building it but it only has a resolution 480 x 234 pixels. I opted for a screen that was smaller with 640 x 480 pixels. I am currently looking for a 5-7 screen that is HDMI for my 2nd version of the Pi-to-go.
