A laser cut case for the **Raspberry Pi 3**, inspired by [Pibow by Pimoroni](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:33443).
Since newer versions of Pibow (for the newer Raspberry Pis) were designed but never released, **i've decided to make my own and release it**.
**I've managed to reduce the number of layers** (from 10 to 8) **and the overall dimensions** (from 99x66x30mm to 90x62x24mm), compared to pibow. **This was achieved by some half-thickness carves and by using the Raspberry Pi's mounting holes.**
- To make the carves, set your laser to engrave about 1.5mm (half thickness of the acrylic). *It may require some testing, but it's totally worth it.*
- Using the Raspberry's mounting holes requires M2.5 screws, which may not be very common. To overcome this, you may just expand the holes in the board with a 3mm drill and use plain M3. The holes in the case will fit M3 screws with no modification.
Made from 3mm (1/8") acrylic.
Two versions are provided: one with the voronoi
