Across all disciplines, 219 Design focuses on rapid feedback loops, particularly in the beginning of a design process. For this case, we prototyped using a MakerGear M3 3D printer. Although these prototypes lack a polished finish, it was well worth the speed of design iteration. We designed the following Raspberry Pi 3D Printed case which is available to the public for free download.
FREE Case For Your Raspberry Pi
We will release this stackable layer soon so that you can make your re-computer with different SBCs and stack accessories on top of each other! Imagine when you build a NAS server, you will need this cool case to put all the SBCs and hard drives together!
We will keep this section short, but for those of you that do not know, the raspberry PI is a so called System on a Chip (SoC). Think of it as a desktop computer with no extras, like screen, peripherals or even casing. There are a lot of options available for casings, but if you google raspberry pi case you will find very technical and boxy designs, quite the opposite of what we were looking for.
Short Crust Plus is the new version of the Short Crust Case designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi Model B+, the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and the brand new Raspberry Pi 3 & Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (will also work with the Model A+). As with the previous version the case is designed to look attractive, be easy to use and be adaptable for different types of projects. The new case features a tool-less design where the 'smoke' tinted lid can be easily snapped on and off securely with no rattling. It also features a snap-in-place mounting method for the Raspberry Pi which keeps it very secure, but easy to remove from the case. By using snap-in mounting for the Raspberry Pi the MicroSD card is kept protected inside the case but can still be easily changed within seconds by removing the lid and Raspberry Pi from the case. Note that this can even be done with all the USB ports still connected. Keeping the MicroSD card inside the case avoids breaks on the outside of the case, allowing it to be as solid and attractive as possible. It also leaves the mounting holes of the Raspberry Pi free to be used for mounting the case to a surface or attaching standoffs to the Raspberry Pi. Standoffs can be attached with screws from underneath the board and the Raspberry Pi can be snapped in and out with these still attached. The use of standoffs is supported by the inclusion of a 12mm extension part with each case. This allows space for attaching components or custom projects to standoffs as well as attaching many of the breakout boards already available for the Pi. The extension part uses the same snap-in mechanism as the lid and multiple can be stacked on top of each other, though note that each Short Crust will only ship with one extension piece.
The first design features the new For Dummies brand, showing the Dummies Man with a slick new haircut and glasses. Download the PDF template for the branded case here. It's not just the Dummies Man who's changed: the design of the book interiors has been completely updated too. Check out my PDF sampler of Raspberry Pi For Dummies to see what it looks like now.There's also a design with minimal branding that you can use for decorating your own case. In the photo, the case on the left was printed on coloured paper that had been painted by my son. I did also look to see whether there were any cool magazine adverts I could make a case out of, but it seems like music mags have far fewer full page ads than they used to. Tweet me your box art. I'll be curious to see your designs! Download the lightly branded case here.If you have an older Raspberry Pi, you can still download the original case we made when the first edition of the book came out. It features the old For Dummies branding, but will keep your Model B nice and snug in the cold winter months. Download the original Raspberry Pi case template here. (The new edition of the book still includes advice on setting up the original Raspberry Pi models, by the way - there are lots of them out there, and it would be good to think they can be put into service somewhere).The original paper case, called The Punnet, was designed by Ian McPhee, who kindly allowed us to create the branded version.

For now, I'm just using a standard Raspberry Pi case with a USB external drive Velcroed to the top, but if you're willing to get creative, the world is your oyster here. Once you have all your components in hand, it's time to get your NAS up and running.
And everything should be ready to rock. Head to your Windows PC, open a File Explorer window, and type \\raspberrypi\MyMedia in the address bar (replacing MyMedia with whatever your share is called). If you press Enter, you should be able to enter your Samba username (pi) and password and see your shared drive. If you run into trouble, you might have to use the Pi's IP address, like \\192.168.1.10\MyMedia instead.
Also needed will be a Micro SD card that holds the operating system. We provide DAKboard OS for free to anyone, including instructions on how to install and configure. Your Micro SD card should be 8GB or larger. Alternatively you can purchase a Pre-loaded DAKboard OS from the shop to load into your Raspberry Pi.
The choice to use Linux or Android depends on the use case for your particular device, and also the type of skill set you or your developers who will be working on it bring to the table. For example, if you only have Linux developers in-house, it might be a better idea to go with Linux.
Basically, you can just put the MicroSD card into the Raspberry Pi, connect USB power, then wait for it to come online. You can find the raspberrypi device IP from your WiFi router, and then SSH into from any computer on your network.
An important use case of Rust is to compile Rust functions into WebAssembly and run them inside Node.js applications to achieve performance, safety, and code portability. It is a great choice for running computationally intensive web applications on a small Raspberry Pi device. In fact, you could get a free Raspberry Pi starter kit if you learn how to do that.
The little desktop comes with a power supply, easy-to-follow instructions,the breadboard and wire connectors, and an 8GB SD card preloaded withpi-topOS, a customized version of the stable and popular Raspbian. The caseitself is made of sturdy plastic and sports a metal kickstand that lets youset the pi-topCEED on your desk at pretty much any angle. 2ff7e9595c
