I was about to comment there should be some clearance added on the last step. Great job pointing it out
Which ridge? Are we talking the ridge on the snap connections or the registration ridges? I just finished the project yesterday. I resized the box width dimension to 65mm. I found the rasberri pi won't fit with the original width dimension.
Great tutorial, thank you so much. Anywhere I can find photos of the finished product?
Also you have to lift the pcb a little bit from the bottom, cause there are pins underneath
Darn - I was aware of that kind of thing, but didn't think to do it right away, until I had done a couple of test prints (my case has to allow for an oversized Seeed Studio LCD, which took a couple of tries to get right.)
Right thought I would come back and give a big shout out to Kevin for he was the first tutor on how to use Fusion 360. Im now way better than I was on day one. Creating loads of stuff but to make it even better I have already modelled a hydraulic cylinder I want produced and sent the design out to a firm in China. They thought the accuracy and image was excellent. All thanks to one man. Kevin Kennedy. Special thanks Kevin.
Hi, James. I hadn't heard from you in a little while... I was hoping it was because you were hard at work on some of your projects! Glad to hear that you've been getting things built in F360. Keep at it! Cheers, Kevin :)
A professional makes difficult work look easy and a great teacher makes it easy for people to learn how. You Kevin, nail it on both of these. Thank you for also keeping the topics real. Not going to the extreme features, but mastering the needed functionality required by most (IMO).
I continue to learn better ways to create my projects with ever lesson. You channel is also to the first recommendation after I recommend Fusion360 to anyone wishing to learn how to get into model creatio for 3D Printing or CNC.
Please keep the lessons flowing.
Thanks, John! I know you've been following the channel for quite some time now and I really appreciate your support - especially you recommending the channel to others.
Thanks to your support, I look forward to continuing to make tutorials! Cheers, Kevin :)
The only problem is that this "design" will not work, it is very easy to pretend youre professional on the internet
PRINT! This wasn't what I was looking for right this moment, but I still learned stuff I didn't know that's going to be useful. Thank you!
Hi, Neerie79. Glad to hear you learned something! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Kevin :)
It is 2021 and I have just watched this for the second time.
A few years ago I found it interesting, but now, with more experience in Fusion 360 I realise just how much information has been packed into this video.
Thanks for your effort. It is much appreciated.
Your explanation is of the best tutorials: very clear and systematic. The smoothness of explanation reflects the amount of perpetration you make. Much appreciate the information.
Thanks, Hisham Ramadan! I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I appreciate your support by watching and commenting. Cheers, Kevin :)
I've watched so many of your videos that I now narrate things I do in my daily life in your voice.
lmao
I keep coming back to this video to do a refresher on many of the details that Kevin touches on. Nothing to do with a RPi case but, everything to do with being and keeping organized while you're drawing.
I started using fusion 360 yesterday and the fact I can now make something like this is mind blowing. Best tutorials on YT by far !
Super clear and thorough, thanks for taking the time to put this together. There are about a half a dozen projects I can take to the next level based on the learning in here!
Have printed a lot of Arduino and Pi cases. This is the best tutorial that I've ever seen. Thanks!
Thanks, Herb! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Cheers, Kevin :)
You've been exceptionally helpful in my progress in learning fusion360. Started with basic designs to 3d print and now I'm moving into building electronics and using my 3d printer to take prototypes and create finished products from them by making enclosures and pieces to go along with the prototype. Thank you for all of your work!
In my first week of learning Fusion 360 I find your video a good tutorial. For the snap fit I think there are more robust solutions, but your use of the combine function to cut away the part of the top is a nice tool!
I followed the tutorial the entire way with the intent of making a Pi case. I made some small changes here and there to the final product for ventilation, like patterned holes across the top, but overall just followed the overall design. I had two problems and one nice thing when it came to actually printing it (top and bottom facing the bed) and assembling it that probably aren't super obvious to a beginner beginner.
The first was that with the clearances involved, while you are modeling a snap fit case, you won't actually be able to put the pi in there, since the audio jack extends quite far past the case and the tolerances involved will prevent that from being inserted and still sitting on the pins. Removing the two pins closest to the overall slot (snapped off by hand) worked fine, and that allowed it to be angled in. The two remaining pins hold the board in place just fine, so I was able to use the bottom without reprinting.
The second was that while the snap fit did model come together in CAD, when I tried with the actual material I realized it was too brittle to use it successfully that way with the way I printed it (in PLA). So the snap connectors were snapped off on the top half. The nice thing that happened was as I followed the tutorial exactly, I did *not* add tolerance to snap and groove on the lid, as mentioned by Peter Refi in the comments. This allowed me to do a pressure fit closure on the top, which holds it together nicely. Since the case is mainly aesthetic and to prevent damage from bumps, this will perfectly suit my needs, allowing me to have a fully functioning case with a Raspberry Pi 4.
I didn't get a snap fit case like I wanted, but I learned a lot from this tutorial and through my mistakes, and will try it again on my next project.
I just watched this today and those clips are ridiculous in this video. How in the world anyone with any understanding of printing, or even how plastic works at all, can think it can bend that much is beyond me.
Wow, a 2 year old comment getting a reply brought me back to this. Can't believe it's been 2 years.
"How in the world anyone with any understanding of printing, or even how plastic works at all, can think it can bend that much is beyond me."
... That was kind of the point. I was not an experienced CAD modeler nor 3D printer at the time. 2 years ago, this was one of my very first prints as I was learning the basics of CAD and 3D printing. At the time of modeling it, I thought it wouldn't succeed - I think my note in the Fusion file says something like, "I have never seen a retaining tab this large in an actual product". However, I knew I would tape it closed as a permanent fix if the print failed so I didn't care.
The reason I left this comment was undoubtedly someone, somewhere would try and print this. There were a few comments on the video at the time discussing how useful this would be (and I checked every comment at the time), not a single comment ever said they'd actually gone through and printed it, and what happened and why it failed if you actually tried to print the tutorial. I felt like it should have at least one.
And plastics - they can do a amazing things, including flexing that far if you use the right material. I like the tutorial as a teaching tool, but for making a case, the design requires revision.
For the record - 2 years on, I still have this case, it's still in use and still works great, printed off the very first roll of PLA that I ever bought.
@@gonxau And to be clear, I was speaking about the guy teaching, not you. You are right, a very soft rubber like plastic might bend like that, but normal run of the mill PLA or ABS would not. While watching the video I was so surprised at that clip length and went straight to the comments the same as you to see who had printed it or at least commented on those clips and yours was the only mention.
@@_evildoer I hope more than one person saw my comment after thinking the same as you and said, "wow, ok, so if I print this, it won't work as a snap case" and revised the design. That would make it very worth it.
If I was doing this again as a snap connector, I'd make 2-3 design changes, but realistically I'd probably just design it to use some M3 screws.
very nice points. I was curious as to how it would turn out since I have been looking for ways to add snap fits to some of my designs and thought this video would be good. While it clearly lacks in that department, as you stated, it did help me find tricks I wasn't aware of as a Fusion360 novice.
Well done tutorial. You didn't assume that the viewer knew all of the tool selections as you selected and used them. This makes your instructable much more effective than a lot of "teachers" on this subject.
The usefulness of your lessons cannot be undervalued. Huge thanks!
Thanks, Paul. I appreciate your support. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Kevin :)
best and simplest explaining on fusion360👍... Thank you kevin
Thanks, الحسن الزعلوك! I appreciate your support. Cheers, Kevin :)
PRINT: I volunteer at a maker space and anyone who wants to learn CAD I point to your videos.
Thanks for watching, Kris! Also, I appreciate the recommendations...that means a lot to me and certainly helps the channel reach more people and continue to grow! Cheers, Kevin :)
I started watching this video and thought only 30 min to make this complicated shape, this guy is gonna be moving quick. Then I noticed how methodical and precise you were and started looking for a part 2 to this video. I cannot believe how well you explained everything and completed it all in such a short amount of time. Well done!
Thanks, Nik!
PRINT: I have only watched a few of your videos but I'm already learning so much, thank you!
Great tutorial! The snapping didn't quite work, but the end-to-end tutorial was great. I'm still a beginner with Fusion 360, so I especially liked how you didn't gloss over some things that might be considered "basic". And even though the snap-fit system didn't exactly work, it serves as a good base to refine, and I'm confident I'll get to a working model with another iteration or two.
The best Fusion tutorial so far in youtube. Very thorough and easy to understand. Thank you so much!
Thanks, Moinul Hossain! I appreciate the kind words and I'm happy to hear you find them easy to understand. Please don't hesitate to comment on any of my videos should you have any questions. Cheers, Kevin :)
Kevin, I just bought you a coffee and at the same time wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your content, lessons and work flow logic - thanks for sharing these, you have made my work so much better!
Hi, Jim. I really appreciate your support. That means a lot to me and every little bit helps me continue to create high-quality content. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying all the tutorials so far. Cheers, Kevin :)
Perfect, just what I need for my many caseless RPI and Arduino projects. You covered so many techniques in this video, I'll certainly be bookmarking this for future reference. Thanks.
This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. Please make more tutorials, regards from Sweden. PRINT
Thanks for watching, Staxborn! I appreciate your support. Cheers, Kevin :)
THANK YOU for not mindlessly shitting out a "go ahead and" every 30 seconds. So refreshing.
Hi, 6yjjk. Glad you found it refreshing. I try to keep the tutorials concise, yet still thorough that beginners aren't completely lost with what I'm doing.
I also plan to start releasing some intermediate level tutorials where I don't say every little thing and keep things a little more high-level so the discussion can be more on thought process and less-common features. Cheers, Kevin :)
I know every other comment says it already, but these are the best tutorials I've seen for Fusion 360, or in general. Well scripted, well paced, easy to follow. And I just happen to need a Pi 4 case, so even better!
I have not only learned to design a casing but whole lot of other tips and tricks to avoid errors. I really appreciate your efforts. Thanks for such great tutorials, Kevin.🙂
Thanks for watching and commenting, Syed! Glad to hear that :)
Thank you so much! My UI looked very different (2019 refresh?) FYI for such users, the "SKETCH" menu doesn't show up unless you're in sketch mode! You have to do Create -> New Sketch, click on the face you want to edit, then select the command, rather than selecting the command first. Also, the lightbulbs have been replaced with little eye shapes.
Hi, Star Dorminey. That is correct. I would recommend watching my tutorial that covers the new UI updates. I discuss the critical changes in terminology, placement, and iconography, that should help bridge the gap between the old UI and the new one. You can watch that here - ua-cam.com/video/tuZzHcmFtg4/v-deo.html
Cheers, Kevin :)
It would've been nice to see the actual model printed and snapping / unsnapping the model a few times.
Well, that's because it didn't work for him xd
Alejandro Pérez lmao
The snap feature and the groove were conflicting. Idk how would this work?
I tried this snap joints and it and for me the joints breaks. Printed with PLA.
@@Todestelzer Those aren't good snaps. Nicely modeled, and great Fusion skills, but the snaps themselves are way too stiff to bend to allow the snap to happen. They also protrude quite a lot into the lower part. Other than that I learned a lot from this video!
I can think of two projects right now that I am making where this will come in very handy. Thank you, your tutorials are great.
PRINT! Excellent video. This is a great first project for someone like me who is reasonably technical but new to Fusion 360. Helped me get up to speed pretty quickly on it. Thank you very much!
Great tutorial! Like it. One small question. You used tolerances when created the pegs for the pi, shouldn’t be put tolerance for the snap joint and groove as well?
Hi, Péter Réfi. Great question and sorry for the confusion. There should be tolerances there as well. Per the pinned comment, I was focused on other things while recording and forgot to add tutorials there. Cheers, Kevin :)
PRINT: Thanks a lot for the video. It would also be helpful if you can show the actual 3D printed part and do the snap-fit so that it will increase the confidence of designing the same and making one.
Hi, Praveen. Thanks for your feedback. I'm currently working on a setup to record some video footage of the prints being printed and some final footage of the in action. I'll be incorporating this into future lessons. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Thanks for your reply :)
@@tom4praveen You're welcome. I'm always happy to help..and will be doing more 3D printing tutorials with videos and examples soon. Stay tuned! Cheers, Kevin :)
I followed your tutorial while designing the case for one of my PCBs. Really great tutorial, very informative and easy to follow. Thanks a lot!
I just got back to using Fusion 360 for my designs again, as I have started to work with 3D printing. This walkthrough is packed with information that helped me get back on the horse again. Thanks for doing this! Great walkthru!
nice tutorial, but the way you made the last feature, to align the top and bottom case, without tolerances, it will not work when you will print it. Also, the snaps are to "tight fit" and it will not work, it will even break the first time you try to close it.
it will be nice to see the final print, as far as I can see, sorry to say it because it is a great tutorial, it will not work printed.
anyway, keep on going I like your tutorials, I can always learn something.
Hi, Giuseppe. Thanks for your feedback. Good point on adding some tolerances for the top/bottom ridge.
As far as the snaps, I should've re-iterated more that I had only printed this out with NYLON 3D printer filament that is flexible. You're probably correct that this may have some issues with the standard PLA or ABS filament.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your feedback and suggestions. Cheers, Kevin :)
hello, the case would not fit together because you need some tolerances in the lip and the snaps.
Hi, DocM. Thanks for your feedback. Good point on adding some tolerances for the top/bottom ridge.

Ok, I am only printing with ABS mainly and PET@@ProductDesignOnline
@@DocMicha If you ever look to get Nylon, I've found the best results with "eSUN ePA 1.75mm Nylon." Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline Thx, but I print old fellowed with 3mm, just because ...
I believe it's available in 3mm as well. Cheers, Kevin :)
Another great one, thank you! I use a raspberry pi almost everyday. I personalized the case to my taste, it feels really good to learn new things
Stumbled across this video a few weeks ago. Realized today that it was exactly what I needed today to help with a project I'm working on.
Thanks!
Great tutorial. I'm pretty new to Fusion 360 and have not been able to resist the "jump in and see what happens" method of learning. This tutorial has shown me some of the intuitive power of Fusion 360 and inspired me to go through the included training, however slow it may seem! Thanks!
Hi, Melvin. Glad to hear you're on board for learning Fusion 360! There is a lot to learn...just take it one day at a time. I would recommend checking out my popular playlist titled, "Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days for Complete Beginners!" In this series, I cover all of the core features of Fusion 360, getting brand new users up to speed and ready to build their own unique designs.

Cheers, Kevin :)
What an absolute unit of a video! AWESOME work
PRINT!, Thanks so much Kevin, I am a new user to Fusion, I have tried several other tutorials, including Autodesk, and they did nothing but frustrate me. Your tutorials are easy to follow and teach things in the correct order for new users. Again thanks so much.
By far the best tutorial for this project I've seen. Good pace, clear instructions. Thank you!
A very detailed explanation of every process. Thank you.
PRINT!!! PRINTTTTT!!! we need more of such vids!! :D
I use these MCs all the time, but am just beginning to learn Fusion 360 for 3D printing. Please make more videos! You are an excellent instructor!
the bringing forward a fillet and adding to the selection is genius! thanks. I am learning so much with your tutorials!
Great explanation and teaching style. You have become my go-to channel to learn Fusion 360. Thank you.
I would also like to join in the praise: I think your F360 tutorials are by far the best on the planet! Very practice-oriented, logically structured and always absolutely understandable. I can also understand your English well at all times, although this is not my mother tongue. I have already learned a lot with you as a teacher, so many many thanks for your absolutely great work!
Hi, Ralle. Glad to hear that! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment and look forward to creating more content for everyone. What types of projects are you using Fusion 360 for? Cheers, Kevin :)
Hello Kevin, nothing special, just spare parts, brackets, little helpers, etc. I used to create the models with Cinema 4D, but thanks to Fusion and your tutorials, I have them ready in a fraction of the time. Your series "... Fusion 360 in 30 Days" made me switch software - and that was a damn good idea! :) Many thanks again to you!
@@claudiralle Glad to hear that! and thanks again for your support. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thank you so much, by going through this lesson I did not only make a nice case for my Arduino, but also got a grip of using Fusion 360. At least the basics and a bit more.
Man, your videos are absolutely outta sight! you have sped up my learning curve hugely. Just became Patron!!!
i completed the video for an ESP 8266 snap fit case.Thank you so much! Can't wait to print it!
THIS is quality content! Great video!
Great timing, this popped up in my recommended list and I'll be working on adding tabs to an enclosure this afternoon! The last step to cut the alignment ridge into the top half blew my mind! I thought I would have to model that by hand and do a cut operation.
Wow... One of the best fusion 360 tutorials for that subject. Great help!
My man! Such a beautiful tutorial with clear detail! Man, as soon as I joined the two components together, I lost it! You sir, have truly helped me understand the tools provided by Fusion 360 and inspired me with new ideas! You earned my subscription! Keep up with this amazing content!
perfect detailed and clear explanation, super easy to understand, i like the way how you talk clearly , thank you for this video...
Thanks, HaiTHaM KoBeIssI. I appreciate your support and I'm glad you're enjoying my tutorials. Cheers, Kevin :)
This is a fantastic tutorial. I own about 8 Raspberry Pis, 10s of Arduinos, 2 BBC Microbits and countless ESP8266s and WemosD1 Minis . This tutorial will be a tremendous help in designing better cases for all of these electronics hardware!
Thanks, Andy! Glad to hear that this will be helpful. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks for this fantastic tutorial! It was really easy to follow, and I have no experience with Fusion 360 before this and one other video! Great job.
You do the best tutorials by a mile!
Tutorial is instrumental and there is an added value of us having completely different approaches.
An excellent tutorial! I use Fusion 360 for home projects and this helps me leverage the software even more! I have a pi4 which I use for octoprint configured with relays and buttons for PSU control and lights. My latest project is integrating homebridge, RF transmitters for remote control outlets, pi hole, and Shairport Sync onto the same pi. I also have a pi zero w which I am setting up with homebridge to control a solenoid to push a door buzzer to open an external door. Thank you!
Thanks, Bill. Glad this will be useful. I also run octoprint on my pi, but those other projects sounds just as exciting! Cheers, Kevin :)
I learned so much from this tutorial. Very helpful. Thanks a lot!
Great tutorial! I have a bunch of RPis for a number of projects. My latest is a digital clock using RPi and either (or both) TM1637 / Tm16K33 4-digit 7 segment displays. This is what I need to model a case for. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow! Thanks for simplifying an otherwise-insurmountable task!
Great Tutorial, will try this on my News RP4. Thanks
A fantastic tutorial! I followed the instructions and made a case for my Pine64 board. It's printing out right now.
Many many thanks for this perfect Tutorial! It was very useful for me, creating my very own RPi Case! Thank you and please continue doing such tutorials!
Hi, Piet's Host. Glad to hear you enjoyed this one. I'll definitely be doing more tutorials that are project/3D Printing based. Cheers, Kevin :)
Excellent! Thanks for posting, I learned a lot.
PRINT. Great simple tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your video tutorials! Your videos help me to design my own ideas in just one week. Great channel!
This tutorial is amazing! We'll done man! And thank you!
I learned so many new techniques and features from this video. Incredible. Keep the knowledge coming bro
Great tutorial, I understand 50% of your words, but I understand how to work in Fusion 360. Thank you!
Really good tutorial! I've just played around in Fusion 360 and kinda bruteforced my way through, but this video showed me so many tips on how to actually do stuff! Construction, Project and stuff like that was new to me!

So I'm returning to this video to 1) realise how detailed your video is but 2) how awesome the parametric capabilities in fusion 360 are 👏🏽🏆
I had to be self taught using Fusion 360 as there wern't any youTube videos available back then. Now following your tutorials I can fill in the spots that I couldn't just self learn and this will make my modelling so much easier.
Hi, Ian. Glad to hear the supplemental tutorials are helping to fill in the gaps. Thanks for watching :)
I've been using fusion for a while now and picked up some nice tips from you here. +1 new subscriber. Thank you
PRINT - I learnt a lot. Thank you.
I am always astonished at how well these tutorials are made. Thanks a lot.
Thanks! :)
This is a great reference video. I used it to make a case for a RPI zero. I learned a few new techniques along the way.
PRINT! This tutorial was awesome
Thanks for watching, Justin! Glad you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Kevin :)
excellent!!! thanks Kev. the links and extras are TOP GUN
This is a great video! I struggled with snaps and the top-bottom registration. Your approach with the bead and groove, excellent and soo simple. Thanks.
Hi, Craig. Glad to hear you enjoyed the tricks and process in this tutorial. Thanks for commenting! Cheers, Kevin :)
Excellent tutorial. I really felt like I learned solid techniques that I can apply elsewhere. Thank you for this!
This was great. Thanks for putting this very easy to follow vid! Please keep it up.
PRINT -- Really enjoy all your videos Kevin!
Thanks, SpinStar1956! I really appreciate your support. Cheers, Kevin :)
Yup! Regularly RPi in all kinds of projects. While I'd make some modifications to this design for personal preferences, the aim of the tutorial is understood. It was well thought out, as well as executed. Thanks for another great video Kevin!
Thanks, John! I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
What kind of projects have you made with the RPi? The only thing I've used one for is remote printing for my 3D printers. I'm always pondering/reading RPi projects but never make the time to tinker with everything else on my plate.
Thanks again for watching and commenting. Cheers, Kevin :)
@@ProductDesignOnline My RPi projects include a DIY Android Auto and a media server.
With the release of the 4, my next project is a ChromeBit alternative to replacement for my mother's aging Intel Compute Stick. I've had her 100% online for years, so moving from Windows 10 to RPi should be uneventful. Then there's the added bonus of faster performance with the 4GB RPi 4.
I also have several projects queued up for work. Part of our business is tradeshow exhibits, and RPi is the perfect platform to control things like lighting and content. We're even looking at controlling some of a customer's equipment, which will only be shells at shows.
It's fascinating and so rewarding to do things with less than $100 worth of equipment that once required $40,000+ PLC's.
@@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt Some interesting projects you're working on. I'm glad you mentioned tradeshows...I have a friend in the industry. I'll have to reach out to him to see if they use RPi at all. Seems like a good use case given the amount of technology that seems to be required for modern exhibits.
Re: the ChromeBit project. That's pretty sweet. I always liked the idea of making DIY projects that aren't dependent on these big companies products... less data being collected ;)
well done, love your way of doing tuts.
I had a few very useful points here :
1. Resource to download the Pi stepfile
2. How to quickly make a case based on the actual file
3. How to make useful openings in a case based on existing features and components in a file.
So thanks again Kevin for this useful tutorial.
*THIS IS WONDERFUL! THANK YOU!* I learned so much by following along.
Love your videos, makes it easy to follow! PRINT!
Thanks for watching, Absalon Prieto! Glad to hear you're enjoying my tutorials. Cheers, Kevin :)
