Raspberry Pi 4B Wind Tunnel Case by mkellsy

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

I have seen various remixes accommodating different hats. One thing I have noticed is that some hats that cover the entire board cause thermal issues. I developed this case to get air in-between the hat and the main board.
This uses an air duct from a fan mounted underneath the main board. This will provide air to the back and front sides of the main board as well as the underside of the hat.
