Upper part GPIO

File: RPI_3bplus_enclosure_upper_1.2.STL Orginal upper part of the enclosure with GPIO access

Upper part without GPIO

File: RPI_3bplus_enclosure_upper_1.2_no_gpio.STL Upper part of the enclosure without GPIO access

GPIO Cover

File: gpio_cover.STL Cover for GPIO. Best of both worlds, clean look and easy access to GPIO

Thermal management

This enclosure is designed to be used with passive cooling solution.

A 1mm copper plate between the CPU and the heatsink is needed to allow space for surrounding components.

Material and print settings

Clearance is 0.2mm for all parts to facilitate assembly. No support is needed.
