A Compact 3D-Printed Zynthian Enclosure – Feedback Welcome!

Hardware
1

I’d like to share a small project of mine: a complete 3D-printable enclosure designed for Zynthian, compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 and 5.

The enclosure is designed to be easy to manufacture on a standard desktop 3D printer. A single printer with a build volume of 20 × 20 × 20 cm is sufficient to print all parts.

Inside, there is enough space for:

  • a Raspberry Pi

  • a MultiIO board with an MCP23017

  • 4 rotary encoders

  • 4 push buttons

  • 2 voltage regulators

The integrated voltage regulators allow the use of power supplies ranging from 9 V to 24 V, giving a lot of flexibility.
Additionally, the design makes it possible to add a power output to supply an external master keyboard, for example a Studiologic controller.

I’d be happy to hear your feedback, ideas, or suggestions for improvement!

Probably best to mark it as a V4 implementation…

Hi @Manau - Thanks for sharing. What type of display is your enclosure intended for?

Thank you very much for your inquiry. I am planning to use the new 5-inch TFT LCD display with capacitive touchscreen, DSI connection, 800 × 480 resolution for Raspberry Pi 5 / 4B / 3B+, as it is very easy to integrate — only a single ribbon cable is required for signal and power.

Ich wollte kein HDMI display verwendem, es benötigt HDMI, USB und Strohmversorgung. Das ist sehr Umstänflich. Bitte ins englische übersetzen. Bitte ins englische übersetzen.

I didn’t want to use an HDMI display because it requires HDMI, USB, and a power supply. That’s very inconvenient.
