Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ VESA Case Assembly Guide

The laser-cut parts of the case are protected by an adhesive film which needs to be removed before assembly.

Bill of Materials

  • Raspberry Pi 3 A+
  • Raspberry Pi 3 A+ VESA Case
  • 6x Acrylic Pieces
  • 4x M2.5 x 8mm M/F Stand Offs
  • 4x M2.5 x 20mm F/F Stand Offs
  • 8x M2.5 Silver Screws

NOTE: Acrylic is a hard and stiff plastic which is sensitive to stress concentrations and shares a certain level of fragility with glass. Acrylic can scratch easily and should be cleaned with a mild solution of dish detergent and warm water. Never use cleaners unsuitable for acrylic. Never use a dry, abrasive cloth.

Here are the parts from the case kit:

 

Follow these images checking parts and orientation of the acrylic pieces. You will see a before and after image for each step. Make sure you have all the parts ready, shown in the before picture.

Insert the male end of the 8mm stand offs into each of the mounting holes on the Pi from the underside. Secure in place with the 20mm F/F stand offs, these should be on the top side of the Pi.

Now we can place the Pi on to the bottom plate, making sure that the SD slot on the Pi lines up with the cut out on the bottom plate. Secure

Time to add the side plates. Starting with the USB side, slot each plate in place.

Last thing to do is pop the lid on and secure with the remaining screws.
