Description
This is a derivative of my previous Raspberry Pi enclosure that ditches the light pipes and bolt together design for an easier to assemble case with strong durable Delrin clips to hold everything together. It's got fewer parts than the previous case and it's been designed for compatibility with Adafruit's Pi Plate prototyping board.
Many of the mods to this new version where contributed by Thingiverse user RoboLemur.

Instructions
Features:
- Compatibility with the Adafruit Pi Plate and Cobbler kits
- Fewer parts and easier to assemble than the previous version
- Strong, durable Delrin clips hold everything together nicely without having to juggle nuts or worry about snapping parts by over tightening bolts and everything comes together with a very satisfying "snap"
Cut the black lines and etch the red lines. Clips are 1/8" Delrin and all other parts are 3mm (1/8") acrylic.

I don't use the GPIO cable in my PI, but I just put it on to see how it fits, and there is interference with the SD card faceplate. Keep in mind that this is on the RP printed derivate. On a laser-cut version, you would have to make a hole there to fix it, or make the box a little longer. Probably easier to just sand down the end of the GPIO connector.
It's a bit tight on the SD card side and it flexes out a bit, but it does clip together with the ribbon cable in place:
