Design Guide or Tips for Raspberry Pi Zero W Case? (by Alex Landherr)
Hi,

I'm a bit new to SolveSpace and have a 3D printer (Original Prusa Mini+). I have gone through a full tutorial already.

My question is whether there is a good way or set of principles to design a simple case for the Pi Zero W (mine has soldered GPIO headers)?

Here is the official mechanical drawing of the Pi Zero (URL leads to Zero Board Rev 1.3, though they ought to be similar):
https://www.raspberrypi.org/do...chanical/rpi_MECH_Zero_1p3.pdf

If someone could be so kind as to give me some tips it would be highly appreciated. I've tried this in other CAD software but it failed there. SolveSpace seems easier to do this in.

Solvespace is perfectly capable to create cases like this. You 'll have to create a solid shape and next cut out other solids. To cut out shapes it is important is that you find radio button for the difference property in the property browser. See the example that I posted earlier.

To understand how to create a new sketch on a solid you can take a look at this video of mine: https://peertube.linuxrocks.online/w/bsWVtim12cxJWhbyjwP3e9
