aber dafr bekommt man ein Gehuse fr den Pi5 was kompakt und funktionell zugleich ist. Was ist an der Aussage dran, dass man nicht so ganz einfach einen Pi5 in das Gehuse setzen kann? Unterhalb des Gehuses gibt es zwei Verschraubungen die es erlauben, dass man nach dem Entfernen der Schrauben das Gehuse etwas spreizen kann, ohne es dabei zu verbiegen! Einen Pi mit Hat’s” aufgerstet ist tatschlich etwas mhsam, aber es geht wie man unschwer an den Bildern erkennen kann.
Zunchst wird erst der Rechner eingesetzt um dann mit entsprechenden Abstandshlsen und Stiftverschraubungen das Ganze verschraubt wird. Letzteres werden die Hat’s” aufgesetzt und verschraubt. Es ist nicht zwingend erforderlich, dass alle Verschraubungen gesetzt werden! In dem Bereich des GPIO Ports ist eine Verschraubung berflssig.
Ich habe das Gehuse gekauft um damit zwei Hat’s unterzubringen. PCIe NVME Borad und einen PiFi DAC+ 2.0. (Software Volumio nvme Image) Das Gehuse ist normalerweise nicht fr ein DAC HAT konstruiert. Hier in meinem Beispiel habe ich einen Gehusedeckel passend dafr nachgebaut um das Original nicht zu verunstalten. Die Mglichkeiten sind breit gefchert und das Gehuse ist nicht unbedingt fr jeden Pi-User geeignet. Das Gehuse eignet sich nicht dazu schnell eine NVME zu wechseln oder Hat’s abzundern. Letzteres ist eine Endlsung mit der man nicht experimentiert.
I love building and tinkering with electronics, so when I got the new Raspberry Pi 5, I knew I wanted to try this enclosure case. I was not disappointed. The case is a solid build, and really sturdy for those of us who tend to drop stuff. I really love the space for the fan and add on cards this case has. All the outside ports are easy to use with this case. I look forward to using some add on cards for several projects. The case itself is sturdy but still lightweight. Great Value!
There aren’t a lot of options when looking for metal cases with room for more than one hat. This case has plenty of space for two hats with a cooler. I was able to get the official Raspberry Pi cooler, a Geekworm SSD hat and a Adafruit GPS hat installed in the case, but it wasn’t easy. Since you can’t get a screwdriver in the case once you have more than one hat installed you have to build the stack outside the case and then gently bend the thin metal to get everything in to the case. To secure it I ordered an assortment of M2.5 screws and installed the screws from the bottom of the case. If the top of the case split in the same way the bottom of the case does it would be significantly easier to get everything installed.
Il case ben fatto e solito, segnalo solo che una delle 4 viti molto complicata da avvitare perch completamente ostruita dalla scheda madre e dal case stesso. Alla fine c’ho rinunciato.
UPDATE: aggiungo anche che per montare il Raspberry insieme anche ad un hat di espansione, dovrete comprare delle viti pi lunghe (M2,5 x 10 mm) perch quelle in dotazione non sono sufficienti nel caso dobbiate usare anche i distanziatori per montare l’hat.
A construo da caixa bastante slida, bastante espao para usar active cooling e outros acessrios.
nico ponto negativo encontrado est na fixao, visto necessitar de uma uma chave bem pequeno por causa da altura reduzida. Tirando isso nada a apontar.
This case is similar to the same case KKSB makes for the RPi 4, just with the correct cut outs to accommodate the RPi 5. It has lots of vertical room for either a large cooler (KKSB makes a nice heat pipe cooler for the RPi 4, maybe they will make one for the RPi 5 someday) or HATs/Shields stacked atop the RPi board. It is aluminum so it is lightweight but still sturdy when assembled. It is an attractive case.
The biggest problem I have with this case is that only the sides open up to gain access to mount the board in the case. The case comes with “female” threaded standoffs permanently mounted to the bottom of the case to mount the RPi board to (includes screws to mount). Most shields/Hats need additional standoffs to sandwich between the RPi board and the shield and are usually the brass hex standoffs with either “female” openings on both or one threaded part and a “female” part where you can assemble them either with screws from either end or through combining the standoffs. The easiest way to assemble shields to the RPi is if you can screw them in from the bottom to standoffs and more or less build the assembly from the bottom up or top down. This case makes that almost impossible to do since there is no access from the top and the expectation is that you’re screwing down the board from the top to the permanent standoffs on the bottom of the case. You have to then try to work things in from the sides which is tough or impossible, depending on the standoffs you have. I think if they had drilled holes or made openings in the top roughly where the RPi mount holes are, you could then get a screwdriver/nut driver straight through to more easily assemble things. I had an NVMe shield I had wanted to use with this case but ultimately had to give up and use a different case with it since it was just not easy to assemble the assembly with the standoffs/screws I had due to the awkward location of the mount points.
Based on how difficult it is to assemble with only side access, I would only recommend this case if you intend to just use an RPi with no shields/HATs or maybe a large fancy cooler. If you need additional shields/HATs installed, you should look closely at how they will attach to the RPi with what hardware they use and be aware that this case might be difficult to work with.
Nice and solid little case and does what it should. A bit confused why it has two holes in the top near the front edge, these seem to line up with some on the bottom so perhaps for stacking them… but surely there should then be some on the rear of the case too? Anyway it is a nice little case
It’s true I had another case for my raspberry pi I ordered it’s from the same manufacturer I believe and the metal on that one is at least three times as thick I mean you could park a car on the raspberry pi case. The purpose of a case is to protect the item inside of it I think this would do fine but if you dropped a book on it or something like a dictionary I don’t know that it would withstand.
I like the cutoff for the power button and it works very good actually. A lot of space for extra NVME base or extra fan. It takes time to fit the nvme base and nvme SSD in this case but it is possible.
