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.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.Dimensions of the ready-made model (editable)

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.
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.
