Raspberry Pi 5 case with active cooler cutout

A two-part snap-fit case sized for the Raspberry Pi 5, whose board measures 85 x 56 mm with M2.5 mounting holes on a 58 x 49 mm pattern. The lid has a 60 x 40 mm opening directly above the official Active Cooler so the fan draws air without any restriction, plus slots along the long side for the USB-C power, the two micro HDMI ports and the power button. The short end is open for the two USB 2.0, two USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet jacks, and the underside has a slot for the microSD card. Walls are 2 mm, standoffs are 3 mm tall, and both halves print flat without supports. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.
Opening the ready-made model and downloading it as STL or 3MF are free, no card; AI changes use credits, from Maker at $7.99 a month.No printer? We print this part and ship it to your door. See its priceUpdated

Open

Create a free account (no card) and open this ready-made model in SpeakCAD. It renders in your browser, on your phone or computer. It is not a fixed STL: every dimension stays editable.
2

Adjust

Change its numbers in the viewer for free, or ask the AI in the chat: wall thickness, hole size, the thing it clips onto. AI changes use 2 credits per request (1 for a quick edit, 3 for a redesign), paid with a plan from Maker at $7.99 a month.

Print

Download a watertight STL or 3MF free, with your numbers and hand edits, or G-code sliced for your printer at the same price. After an AI change the download is included in every plan (4 credits without one).

Example prompt

Design a two-part snap-fit case for a Raspberry Pi 5 board 85 x 56 mm with M2.5 standoffs on a 58 x 49 mm pattern, 2 mm walls, 3 mm tall standoffs, a 60 x 40 mm lid opening above the active cooler, port cutouts on both edges and a microSD slot underneath.

This prompt comes with the ready-made model when you sign in, in case you want the AI to redesign it (3 credits a redesign); changing numbers in the viewer is free.

Fit notes

A measured case beats a generic download because port slots land exactly where your board and cooler sit. In SpeakCAD you describe the case, preview it in the browser, refine the vent pattern or add a PCIe HAT gap in the chat, and download the STL once it fits.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.

Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.

No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.

Nothing to install. Open the ready-made model in a free account, change its numbers in the viewer or shape it with the hand tools (a hole, a cut, rounded corners), then download the STL or 3MF free, or sliced G-code with credits.
