Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W case, 3D printed: 65 x 30 mm, the 58 x 23 mm holes and a slim snap case
Exact Zero 2 W dimensions, the mini HDMI and micro USB positions, camera ribbon exits, and a prompt for a snap-fit case only 14 mm tall.
Dimensions
| Measurement | Value |
|---|---|
| Board outline | 65 x 30 mm, 3 mm corner radius |
| Mounting holes | 4 x 2.75 mm on a 58 x 23 mm pattern, 3.5 mm from the edges |
| Mini HDMI | Long edge, centred about 12.4 mm from the corner |
| Micro USB (data) | Long edge, about 41.4 mm from the same corner |
| Micro USB (power) | Long edge, about 54 mm from the same corner |
| microSD | Short edge |
| Camera connector | Opposite short edge, 22-pin FPC |
| GPIO | 40-pin header along the other long edge, unpopulated on the standard board |
| Tallest component | About 5 mm bare, 8.5 mm with a soldered header |
The Zero 2 W and the original Zero W share this footprint; the Zero 2 W runs hotter and benefits from a few vent holes over the SoC.
The slim case
With no header, the whole case can be 14 mm tall outside. Use 2.5 mm locating pegs instead of screws (the holes are 2.75 mm) and the board drops in and stays put under the lid.
With a header, a pHAT or a camera
- Header soldered. Add "12 mm internal height and a 52 x 6 mm slot in the lid above the GPIO header".
- pHAT on top. Add "22 mm internal height, the lid open above the pHAT".
- Camera. Add "a 17 x 2 mm slot on the short edge for the camera ribbon" and, if the camera mounts on the case, "a 25 x 24 mm camera module recess on the lid with 2 mm holes on a 21 x 12.5 mm pattern".
Where a Zero ends up
Behind a TV, inside a retro handheld, in a birdhouse, on a 3D printer as an OctoPrint host. Each wants a different mount: a strap slot, a lanyard hole, two keyholes, a 1/4-20 tripod thread. Name the mount and it becomes part of the case.

A Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W camera case: board 65 x 30 mm on 2.5 mm pegs at 58 x 23 mm, 12 mm internal height, a 17 x 2 mm ribbon slot on the short edge, a Camera Module 3 recess on the front face (25 x 24 mm, 2 mm holes on 21 x 12.5 mm) with an 9 mm lens hole, and a 1/4-20 tripod thread boss underneath.
A Pi Zero 2 W case with 22 mm internal height for a pHAT, standoffs with 2.5 mm holes on 58 x 23 mm, the lid open above the pHAT, mini HDMI and dual micro USB cutouts, and two 4 mm keyhole slots on the back 40 mm apart.
Questions
Yes, the outline, holes and ports are identical. The Zero 2 W runs warmer, so add a few vent holes over the processor.
Yes. Ask for a camera module recess on the lid or front face with the module's 21 x 12.5 mm hole pattern and a ribbon slot. The Camera Module 3 is 25 x 24 mm.
Pegs for a slim case that is opened rarely: 2.5 mm pegs in the 2.75 mm holes locate the board and the lid keeps it down. Screws (M2.5 into 4 mm standoffs) when the case is mounted upside down or gets shaken.
