2. 3D Printing RaspberryPi Cases
● Process has been educational
● Why? Scratch an itch, I needed a case
● Got my RPi from QtonPi device program
● Learned new tools
● Had multiple Ultimakers available at our
company
● My personal ”Friday project”

3. Learned a lot
● Got familiar repositories filled with ready-made
models
● Learned to evaluate what I can print with
Ultimaker
● Learned to seek features in models that make it
“unfit” to manufacture
● To do design and 3D print does not require
hacker skills (common skills enough)

4. Learned new tools
● OpenSCAD (parametric design)
● More like fooling around with this
● TinkerCAD (online CAD)
● 3DTin (online CAD)
● More practise with Blender (CAD-ish app)
● Not all were needed, but wanted to test
different things

6. Resulted to...
● Our family became “3D design & printing” nuts
● Kids keep on making more designs
● Wife created some “jewelry” models and did
some polishing (ear rings and some other stuff)
● Multiple RaspberryPi cases in different colors
● Found out that 1.01 scale of one particular 3D
model works best.
