Raspberry Pi 3 - Case for 3.5" Touchscreen (XPT2046) - Optional Fan

Important: Make sure to download the latest files here, I am no longer uploading to Thingiverse: https://www.printables.com/model/2863-raspberry-pi-3-case-for-35-touchscreen-xpt2046-opt

I made this case because I could not find one that fits my needs. I use this setup for a beer fermentation controller, for this reason, the current version only has an opening for the micro USB connector and another opening for the 1-Wire Cable, I don't need the other connectors. This case also has a spot for a fan to make sure the raspberry and the screen are properly cooled. There is also some space below the Raspberry for cooling and wires.

The raspberry slides in from the left or right together with the display in one piece. I have not tested this with the Raspberry Pi 1/2.

I will be uploading additional versions with more openings for other connectors, but I cannot yet give an ETA. Included will be a version without fan, basically a different left cover.
