Raspberry Pi 4 Touchscreen Enclosure

3D printed Raspberry Pi 4 touchscreen enclosure

A matt black 3D printed case that holds a Raspberry Pi 4 behind a touchscreen, with four buttons, side ports and cooling fins.

Service

Product Development & Prototyping

What it holds

A Raspberry Pi 4 and a touchscreen

Ports

Ethernet and four USB, open at the side

Cooling

Thin fins printed across the whole back

What we brought

What we can do

We build cases around your boards

The screen, four buttons, Ethernet and USB ports all line up with openings in this shell.

How we look after you

Cooling is part of the shape

Rows of thin fins are printed into the back shell, so the case itself carries the cooling.

What you get

A case that looks like a product

Curved sides, recessed corner screws and a matt black finish make a bare board look finished.

The brief

Step 1 of 4

Inside: A Raspberry Pi 4 and a touchscreen
Controls: Four push buttons beside the screen
Ports: Ethernet and four USB, reachable with the case closed
Cooling: Fins across the back

At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we 3D printed an enclosure that turns a Raspberry Pi 4 and a small touchscreen into one desk unit, with its buttons and ports still in reach.

Production

Step 2 of 4

We printed the shell in matt black on our FDM printers, as a front half and a back half. The cooling fins are printed into the back half, thin and evenly spaced from top to bottom.

The back of the black enclosure from one corner: rows of thin printed cooling fins between the curved top and bottom, with a screw in each corner — The cooling fins across the back.

The enclosure from a rear corner, showing the finned back half meeting the front half, with the Ethernet and USB ports in the side — Where the front and back halves meet.

Build and assembly

Step 3 of 4

The two halves close around the Pi and the screen, held by screws at the corners. The Ethernet and USB ports line up with an opening in the side, and four white buttons sit beside the screen.

Close view of the enclosure's side: the Pi's Ethernet port above two pairs of blue USB ports, set in one opening, with the fins behind and the white buttons in front — Ethernet and four USB ports at the side.

The enclosure at an angle, showing the four white buttons beside the screen and the side ports behind them — Buttons in front, ports at the side.

The final build

Step 4 of 4

One finished unit for a desk: the touchscreen in front, four buttons at hand, the ports at the side and the cooling fins at the back.

The front of the finished enclosure head-on: a rectangular touchscreen in a black frame with curved edges, and four white buttons in a column on its left — The touchscreen and its four buttons.
