PiSound case and RPi4

Pisound
1

Will the case sold on the site fit a PiSound + Raspberry Pi 4?

And, most importantly, since I know the RPi4 can get quite hot, will it be enough to keep it cool or would it need a fan?

@Tarrasque Yes, the case comes with two side panels to fit both Raspberry 2/3 and 4 models. In our experience fan isn’t necessary. :wink:

I want to update my Pisound with a Rasp Pi 4
would it be possible to just get a side panel for the 4?

We can arrange that! Reach out to us via hello@blokas.io with all the order info - full name, billing and shipping addresses, phone no, and shipping type (standard vs. UPS), and we will send you an order link.

hmm, so do I need to install a fan, if I want to switch from raspi 3 to 4?
is there anything that fits into the case? seems like fan shim is too big

In case anyone is still interested, I’ve just designed a 3D printable enclosure for RPi4 + Pisound. Probably not the best case you’ve ever seen, but it does the job. I’ll probably try to address some critical issue it in the next days, but it’s a starting point.

If you’re brave enough to print one, please let me know how it worked.

Thanks!

Before I re-invent the wheel, does anybody know of an updated version of this for the RPi5 + PiSound + GPIO header extension?

Another member of the forum came up with a 3d printed case.

Thanks! The slide-in, open-side design is interesting.
