Raspberry pi 3B / 4B Mini Tower Case (v8)
SalesIdeasUniverse@gmail.com
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our product. Your case is made using our own CNC laser cutting
equipment in Telford (UK) and we are here to help with any issues or questions you may have.
We hope you enjoy your pi’s new home.
The case is made from a combination of high gloss acrylic, Perspex and Birch Ply Wood. The
clear Perspex side panels are removable by unscrewing the 4 fastening nuts on each side. We
advise you to remove both sides to install your pi. Note that the panels are not the same on
one side the slot / hole is lower than the other. It should be high slot on the left side and low
slot on the right side. This is so the slots align with the pi’s header pins on the left, and power,
hdmi, etc on the right side.
Undo the nuts and remove the Perspex cover.
Your case will have installed the 4 mounting pillars / stand offs we use M2 or M2.5 spacers /
standoffs for the Raspberry pi range of boards (mote the stand offs are not shown in the above
picture). On these pillars you will find very small nuts or screws -undo them and keep them
safe.
Before inserting your pi into the case, make sure your SD Card is installed and make sure your pi
has heat sinks fitted to the main CPU, Memory chips etc. See you heat sink guidance for details.
