Wow! The case turned out to be amazing! I kinda expected those blue things on the side to be 2.5” Drive mounts (so a total of 3 on top of raspberry pi) but your version looks way cooler!
I was thinking there was 6 and we could only see 3 ? so that would complete the rack setup also maybe 18650 UPS HAT and as Brian S said have the leds show activity, so the 2.5 would light up when the 2.5 is being used Also one could be RGB so it would refect the Fan speed L,M,H...
You saw it quite differently from me. I saw 3 racks in the front of the case each lit blue and mounting its own raspberry pi in a three unit networked pc. then buttons under the bottom rack and IO below that on the main body.
When inserting threaded inserts you shouldn't cook your plastic. You should get into temperature range slightly lower than "printing" temperature, so for PLA 300°C is a massive overkill that will more or less destroy the plastic touched by the insert. 180-200°C (depending on the polymer blend) should be maximum
Great job. Aesthetically pleasing looks. I feel the temperature-controlled fan is the way to go on the Pi’s. One would think the symbol on the side of the case, was a futuristic version of the old Commodore logo.
it would have been cool if you had a rail system for laptop hard drives that went in between the blue pieces so you could add storage to it. lots of wasted vertical space that could be better utilized for storage!! --- edit: i wrote this comment before i read the others- and it seems like everyone had this idea too. would be interesting to see it re-imagined with this in mind, in addition to your great creation already!
I agree, the case turned out amazing. If you didn't think of this already, the space above the Pi can be used to connect some SSDs. just add blue led to the other side, add a slit for the SSD and your done...
I feel like the 3 blue spots would have been interesting as spots for like drive bays. I mean you wouldn't put an actual cd drive in there but I think if you ever wanted to add something that was similar in shape those 3 blue accents on the AI image would have been perfect.
The AI didn't design anything. It just recombined given samples due to strict rules. The AI doesn't make decisions. And it doesn't have a feeling nor does it understand what it does. Just a set of rules it follows.
Awesome. Are you open to offering the design for others to try to print and assemble thier own. Nice work. The others looks awesome as well. I'd love to see those.
The A.I. must’ve been watching Top Gear or something, and added the 3 blue “wings” for extra performance, speed, and wind tunnel aerodynamic. 🤣🤣🤣 Great work Michael 👋
Awsome cabinet. Made one my self, cloned My gaming rig, Phanteks Enthoo Evolve to be a RetroPi micro gamer. Project not completed yet, but printed a 50% scale to test color match and design fit. 😁 Let ne know if you want to have a look. Or even see the design files f360. . Br. Kenneth.
I wonder if the acrylic pieces would pop even more if you put a reflective film on the inside to get a mirror effect. Might block airflow but could look cool. Give one of the steampunk a go, seems like a fun challenge.
That's a nice idea - I was also considering sanding the surface of the pieces with a fine sandpaper to create a sort of "haze", but they do look more reflective in the AI image
Great job - love the creativity and should definitely do one of the steam punk ones. Could add a temp sensor to have the fan go on automatically. Thanks for adding the parts for the inserts and each of the steps.
The “blue things” are an LED infinity mirror. They’re used in real life to generate a virtually very deep space when you look in the front, but they only take up a shallow depth physically
Pretty impressive. Are you going to sell this case with blue acrylic panels on etsy without the raspberry pi, LEDs and fan, that we can actually buy anywhere we want? Working LEDs and fan look awesome.
@@MichaelKlements yes, I know that. The example is the case with water cooling, where you presented a CM4 board with computing module. The CM4 board has 12V for the fan and also the usb port where you can connect the pump separately. In my case where I am going to use Raspberry Pi 4b, I need a module with two relays or a mosfet with optoisolation to be able to connect properly the water pump and a fan (both 5V) the safe way. Besides I had to order all the parts except the 3D printer and laser cutter. Over 1200 PLN ~400 AUS. Probably some of them I could buy cheaper I suppose. But still I have no idea what is the price for cutting with the laser in acrylic 4 A4 sheets I ordered. So assuming I can say that the price is about 400 AUS. For this AI case I think it will be much lower. Around 200-300 AUS.
The amazing part is that you can afford a Raspberry Pi ! 💰
Cruel
My first thought too. A new one even.
Were things different then? I just got a 2GB Pi 4B for like 50 bucks lol
Wow! The case turned out to be amazing!
I kinda expected those blue things on the side to be 2.5” Drive mounts (so a total of 3 on top of raspberry pi) but your version looks way cooler!
Drive mounts along the side would have been a great addition
I was thinking there was 6 and we could only see 3 ? so that would complete the rack setup also maybe 18650 UPS HAT and as Brian S said have the leds show activity, so the 2.5 would light up when the 2.5 is being used Also one could be RGB so it would refect the Fan speed L,M,H...
My mind went to drive bays, too, but I imagined them as some sort of front panel drive, like a CD or Floppy disc would be on a full size case.
@@dafoex you mean like hot swappable ones? that’s an amazing idea!

Very cool. The window should be an endless LED mirror. That would complete the look.
Really nicely done! I'd love to see a similar design with an ice tower and an SSD drive. :)
Looks really good. If you're trying out weird designs, definitely try out the steampunk but do also consider biodesign.
Seriously impressive. Still loving the bitcoin case you made for my node. Yes, please steampunk!!
These newer AI models are the next billionaire makers. To future self: I told you so and you're still broke!
wait... what? :D OnlyFANS? :D freakin great!
Personally i'd not make it as tall, i like the shape though and the SD card in the front is a nice touch
Now that's cool! I'd go with the steampunk case on the left...
This is nuts, the possibilities are endless, awesome case!
Thank you!
I am wondering how it would look like with a semi transparent black panel inst
Amazing i like it soo much that i need a 3D printer now!!
"only fans" Man it always make me smile every time u mention this. :D
most geeky shiet i've seen 2023 ; ) perfekt well done
I feel like a little server rack of raspberry pis would look fun
Great job. Aesthetically pleasing looks. I feel the temperature-controlled fan is the way to go on the Pi’s. One would think the symbol on the side of the case, was a futuristic version of the old Commodore logo.
I just was about to say that's almost a Commodore logo :)
Now that you mention it, it does look like it was inspired by the Commodore logo
Cool looking :D
Beautiful work!
Although, the only unrealistic part of this project is finding a Pi in stock XD
Looks good. I like it. It reminds me of a Vectrex (kind of).
Great video. Keep up the good work.
@Michael Klements
The front foot than should be wider for more stability.
Yeah it probably could be double the width and still look subtle

I thought those blue leds would function as holders for 2"5 SSDs. Perhaps they could?
Steam punk for sure mate!
Truly, well done, sir!
I agree, the case turned out amazing.
If you didn't think of this already, the space above the Pi can be used to connect some SSDs.
just add blue led to the other side, add a slit for the SSD and your done...

wow great job!!
Awesome Case!
Very nice! I"m not a Pi Person, but you showed some really great ideas that I think I can use for my uP of choice the Teensy.
Very Cool! Interesting how the front looks like a smartphone.
Nice fan control 😉Where did you get the mesh cover?
Thanks Jeremy! I bought a couple of those mesh covers from Aliexpress a while back - you can get them off Amazon as well
What about a solar powered raspberry Pi?
The AI didn't design anything. It just recombined given samples due to strict rules. The AI doesn't make decisions. And it doesn't have a feeling nor does it understand what it does. Just a set of rules it follows.
Another beautiful case! Very inspiring.
Liked it, looks really cool. The only thing I didn't like is that lights must be on all the time, they cannot be turned off.
That's easy to do, just plug the LED string into a GPIO pin instead.
Was there a meaning behind the symbol, open window, and blue glowing? what if those are funtionalitys?
Awesome. Are you open to offering the design for others to try to print and assemble thier own. Nice work. The others looks awesome as well. I'd love to see those.
*Blown Away! This was well done!
The A.I. must’ve been watching Top Gear or something, and added the 3 blue “wings” for extra performance, speed, and wind tunnel aerodynamic. 🤣🤣🤣
Great work Michael 👋
Haha, it's definitely a case that was built for looks over function
@@MichaelKlements 👍

That sounds great, the Phanteks Enthoo Evolve is a good looking case!
I think the front was an infinity mirror, or at least that is what it looks like to me
Still awesome, I love seeing what you create
That's a nice idea
in free space inside you can grow some potato
That came out extremely well, very cool design and concept.
Thank you!
no wonder there is a rpi shortage this guy buys them all

That's a nice idea - I was also considering sanding the surface of the pieces with a fine sandpaper to create a sort of "haze", but they do look more reflective in the AI image
I think you should mass produce it as a kit.
Should have added a boot SSD in the wasted space
Actually good looking case!
So what is that tower supposed to be anyway?
That's awesome - good job 👍
Left steampunk case for sure!
nice one!!!!
where i can have the pi4 3d model ?
Yes, Steampunk, please!
It looks great. My only gripe is the cables haha. I feel like you could defs have easily tucked the cables nicely
Wow, that is an amazing work of art. Well done!
Frickin epic. Nice work.
Id be keen to buy the made case.
very good , I like it.
Can i have one of this ?
Bombastic!
steampunk!
Brilliant design - the side decal reminds me of the old Commodore Logo!
Great job - love the creativity and should definitely do one of the steam punk ones. Could add a temp sensor to have the fan go on automatically. Thanks for adding the parts for the inserts and each of the steps.
On / Off button?
Thats cool.
This is awesome!
Really cool!
amazing!

My mind went to drive bays of some description
Pretty impressive. Are you going to sell this case with blue acrylic panels on etsy without the raspberry pi, LEDs and fan, that we can actually buy anywhere we want? Working LEDs and fan look awesome.
I'll look at putting a kit together or just putting the CAD files up - there is quite a lot of work involved in assembling each case.

Do you have a case for the rpi 3b
Not in this style but I do have other cases for the Pi 3 available through my Etsy store
It looks very cute😍 love it
you dont sell the case?
I sell the CAD files to 3D print your own
lakker chyna
Wrong title. This is AI design PC case. Has nothing to do with Raspberry Pi. Disappointed.
awesome really enjoyed this
