Inky Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) I'm thinking of mounting my rPi in a non standard case.. What do you guys use to mount the device.. Edited August 6, 2018 by Inky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Well to be honest in my RPi little barcade, I just put on some velcro tape on the side and boom Actually to clarify I put it in a standard cheapo rectangular case, and that's where I put the velcro. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodLightning Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 M2.5 screws fit the Raspberry Pi mounting holes. Using plastic ones is safest to avoid shorts. Spacers and standoffs will let you get the exact height you need. The assortment linked below is overkill, but is handy if you have more than one project. https://www.amazon.com/Wang-Data-240PCS-Spacer-Assorted-Standoff/dp/B06XXX8B1C/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1533588750&sr=8-5&keywords=m2.5+plastic+screw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodLightning Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Has anybody ever tried Blu Tack putty as a circuit board mount? The guy who makes 'Explaining Computers' videos on youtube uses it sometimes to hold down a raspberry pi and other devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 its fine if you just need to keep a board from moving around while you fiddle with it, but its nothing permanent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Here is the specialty case I use for one of my RPi 3's. You can order a different front conver from the maker if you don't want the Texas Instruments logo on yours. What I really like about this case is the built-in window for an Adafruit I2C display. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsoft Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 This is sort of an outlier, but, I like to design and print 3D brackets to fit the Pi into existing cases (usually spare computer cases). Making your own bracket is time consuming, but you can get a perfect fit! (Plus you need a 3D printer). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudoboy Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 i just use a transparent abs case that locks it place when you close it. like this: It does come with screws but never needed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
