It’s so typical that they’ve finally made a halfway decent pro model for people who actually use their computers for important things, and it’s modular and upgradeable, and it won’t overheat because it’s not all stuffed into a toilet paper tube… But yeah, of course people are geeking out about the fan grille? Wooow cooool, wish I could un-tick that box on the order form and save some money on the silly over-engineered case and just put it in a cheap Antec or something.

Sadly we couldn’t break our embargo and tell him about the Pi 4 and its different connector layout, but we’re guessing a halfway competent CAD operator could put together a Pi 4 case. The result is the Raspberry Pi case, which is for the Pi 3 and others like it. This is where following someone who really knows your CAD package pays dividends, because we suspect it would take us days to figure out some of the tricks he shows us. Using the page linked in our previous coverage of the grille he’s taken its geometry information and produced a video detailing every step in recreating it for Fusion 360. It seems that for Fusion 360 users the problem lies in that package’s method of placing spheres which differs from that of some other CAD software. He’s replicated the design in Fusion 360, and used it to produce rather an attractive Raspberry Pi case.

Before we move on though there’s one final piece of work to bring to your attention, and it comes from. By now you will all have heard so much about the grille on Apple’s new “Cheese grater” Mac Pro that you might think there was nothing more to say.
