Raspberry Pi 4, 5 inch display case v1

Didn't felt safe moving around my raspberry pi 4 all naked and exposed, so decided to make enclosure.

you will need to either cut the back of the display housing or remove it fully (not recommended, hot glue can rip out the necessary components out of display when trying to mount the raspberry pi 4 itself cutting the back housing as required, any time in future I will make v2 of the case where original display housing won't be necessary)

Required items:

  • Screws 3.0mm x 16.mm x4 (x8 if you want to have better grip on display, but not needed)
  • Raspberry Pi 4 mounted on back of display (already well cut and grinded edges back cover, leave front as it is. it will keep the display at stop)

How to install:

  1. Mount the whole computer by inserting in the top part first (where display USB micros located and HDMI)
  2. Once mounted by top, use force (PRESS BY CASE BOTTOM, DO NOT PRESS BY DISPLAY, AVOID BREAKING IT)
  3. (Optional) Screw in x4 more screws on top of with pads + springs to keep the display well mounted.
