Description
This design is an evolution of my previous cases for my OPi 5, starting with these features:
This design adds:
I designed this in the dev version of FreeCAD, and was not able to detail it exactly as I wanted, so this may be a work in progress. I could not figure out how to model the fan shroud, so that was modeled in Fusion 360, and so the license is non-commercial. Update July 15, 2024 - the latest dev version seems reasonably stable, so I have uploaded the model in case anyone wants to edit it.
The cover is secured with (2) M3x8 screws into (2) heat set threaded inserts.
I found that without heat sinks the cpu temperature went up to 80 C, and after adding heat sinks it was 70 C.
