Summary

This laser cut Raspberry Pi enclosure design features light pipes for the status LEDs and obscures the T-slots for a nice clean looking enclosure.

All off board connectors are accessable with the top off and you can use standard ribbon cable connectors through the case to hook up the expansion header as well. Spacing of the top layers have been adjusted so these should be compatible with pi plates when they become availiable with minimal additional hardware.

UPDATE:
The design has been updated to support both the models of the Raspberry Pi board (A & B) and include better standoffs. Updates thanks to Thingiverse user RoboLemur for the design updates.

Black acrylic kits are available here:

And a limited number of translucent purple acrylic kits are available here:

Instructions

Cut on black lines, vector etch on red. Main enclosure parts are 3mm acrylic and the light pipe parts are 1.5mm acrylic and the new standoffs are 3/32" Delrin. Uses 4 M3-16 bolts for assembly.

It would be easier to work with the dxf files and modify them if they were built with polylines instead of splines.

Why wont these DXF files open for me. I work in solidworks. And i use irfanview to view my dxf's. I get an error opening them in either of those programs. Any suggestions??

It's saved in R14 format so it should be compatible with just about everything. It opens up in LibreCAD, so you might load it up and export them in different DXF versions and see if that helps.
