Goal: To create a case for a Raspberry Pi 3B+, as the first design I create specifically to fit a preexisting component, using good Fusion360 practices.

v1

A rough first attempt, also trying to learn Fusion360. Will model the Pi first, then build the case around it.

v1.1

• Side walls too high, so couldn't get the Pi into the case
• Rightmost USB port post too close too narrow

v1.2

• Side walls still too high
• Rightmost USB port still too close

v1.3

• Got the fit to work, though I still needed to basically cut off the side walls, so I just have a base with parts that fit.

Takeaways

• Use a split case design is pretty much necessary given the way that the Pi itself is built.
• Letting the workflow get ahead of you is a r
• ecipe for disaster, since any edits to the case become a real mess. Need to maintain a clean process all the way through.

v2

Trying from scratch since I have a better understanding of how Fusion360 works. Will model the Pi component more accurately, then build the case with a split in the middle instead of a lid.
