The Unity V3 case from Kiwi Electronics is a laser-cut case that fits the Raspberry Pi 5 and many different HATs.
Parts list
- 6x acrylic parts
- 8x 6mm M2.5 screw
- 4x 20mm M/F hex spacer
- 4x 20mm F/F hex spacer
- 4x 6mm M/F hex spacer
- 1x hex tool for spacers
- 4x rubber feet
- 1x 2x20 female header with 6mm pins
Remarks
- You will need a screwdriver to assemble the product.
- First remove the protective film from the acrylic parts.
- Because the parts are made of cast acrylic, there may be differences in thickness. We try as much as possible to prevent parts from not fitting. In the unlikely event that this does happen, please contact us for a replacement.
- If you want to mount the case on the wall, make sure that the screws in the wall do not protrude more than 7 mm to prevent them from pressing against the bottom of the Raspberry Pi.
Step 1
First, place the 6mm spacers on the base plate with screws as shown in the picture below.
Step 2
Place the Raspberry Pi with Active Cooler already mounted. It is highly recommended to use an Active Cooler because of the heat build-up.
Step 3
Then fix the 20 mm female/female spacers.
Step 4
Depending on which HAT/expansion you wish to place, you can now place the supplied header. Pay attention to which header comes with the HAT/expansion. If the black part of the HAT header is higher than 8.5 mm, then the included header should not be used. Please be careful when fitting this. Total height between Raspberry Pi and HAT is 20 mm.
For example, the header in the image below has a higher black part and longer pins. In this case, the included header can be left out.
Step 5
Carefully place the HAT/expansion on the Raspberry Pi and screw the 20 mm male/female spacers on top.
Step 6
The simplest way is to first place the front and back plates and then carefully slide the side plates into the holes of the bottom plate as shown below.
Step 7
Finally, place the lid and screw it in place with the last remaining screws.
