Downloads: North Pi 3D Files — Fractal Design
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/07
The concept North Pi created for Computex 2024 is now available to download as 3D-print files
- [Wayback] 3D Print Files
- [Wayback/Archive] Instrunctions [Wayback PDF View/PDF View]
Required hardware
- 3D Printer or access to 3D printing service.
- Screws:
- 13 x M2.5 threaded inserts, outer diameter 3.5 mm (other diameter will require altering the holes for the inserts) + tools for inserting them.
- 9 x M2.5×4 (-6) for case assembly.
- 4 x M2.5×4 (-6) or stand-offs for motherboard assembly.
- Screwdriver.
- Glue.
Optional hardware
- File or sanding paper for cleaning up print.
- Wood strips (for authentic look) and shaping tools for those
- 2 x 40 mm fans (max 10 mm thick). Check the documentation of your specific SBC on what voltage to use.
- Paint and paintbrush/airbrush.
This was after a few other people recreated Pi cased in the style of the North Pi:
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeff Geerling on X: “More designs — this one is a bit closer to identical (less ‘inspired by’): …”
- [Wayback/Archive] Rex Tang on X: “Works perfect now after a little accident. The design may infringe on @fractalofficial , I won’t share the drawings @smarthomecircle @geerlingguy”

[Via [Wayback/Archive] Jeff Geerling on X: “WOAH! @fractalofficial released the official case design files! … — this is so cool, now you can print one of your own!
Later I found this Dutch link where they talk about printing it and cutting the wood pieces: [Wayback/Archive] Fractal stelt 3d-printbestanden North-behuizing voor Raspberry Pi’s beschikbaar – Computer – .Geeks – Tweakers
