Raspberry Pi 5 AI Camera Case (Slip-Fit Lid, Fits AI HAT+ and Active Cooler) + Plain 24/32mm Cases

A two-piece PETG case for the Raspberry Pi 5. It's built to hold the full Raspberry Pi AI kit: AI HAT+ and Active Cooler stacked inside, with the Raspberry Pi AI Camera mounted in the lid. Plain low-profile versions are included for a bare Pi 5.

Designed in SolidCraft from the official Raspberry Pi mechanical drawings and product briefs (Raspberry Pi 5, AI HAT+, AI Camera, Active Cooler).

Comments on fit are welcome.

Cases for other Raspberry Pi boards and configurations are planned, including Pi 4, Pi 3B and Pi Zero. Full list below.

v2: AI Camera case (base + lid)

• Outer footprint: 91 x 62mm with 4mm rounded corners. 2mm walls and floor.
• Base is 40mm tall, with room for the AI HAT+ on its stacking header above the Active Cooler.
• The slip-fit lid has a 4mm deep lip with 0.2mm clearance per side, so it press-fits without screws. Assembled height is 42mm.
• The lid has 4 M2 bosses on a 21 x 12.5mm pattern for the AI Camera, a 6.5mm lens opening, and 2 ribbon cable guide ribs.
• 5 vent slots in the lid over the AI HAT+ accelerator, plus 7 floor vent slots.
• Port openings: USB-C and 2 micro HDMI on the front, Ethernet and USB-A on the rear, and microSD on the left side.
• 4 board standoffs on the Pi 5 mounting pattern (58 x 49mm), with 2.2mm pilot holes.
• "Pi 5" is engraved in the floor.

v1: plain cases (no lid)

• Same 91 x 62mm footprint, ports, standoffs, floor vents and engraving as v2.
• Two heights: 24mm (bare board) and 32mm (extra clearance).

Approximate PETG mass (from CAD at 1.27 g/cm3, 100% solid; actual filament use depends on your settings):

• v2 base: 39.2g
• v2 lid: 16.4g
• v1 24mm: 27.3g
• v1 32mm: 33.2g

Notes:

• Raspberry Pi recommends keeping the case uncovered and in a well ventilated spot when using the Active Cooler or AI HAT+.
• STEP files are included if you want to modify the design.
• Raspberry Pi is a trademark of Raspberry Pi Ltd. This is an independent design, not affiliated with or endorsed by Raspberry Pi Ltd.
