ORIGINAL TEXT
All Raspberry cases I have found were small, fancy, without possibility to mount a fan. So I have made one.

It is not smallest one or fancy designed case, but it is easy to print, it is possible to mount 40x10 fan (I am using Noctua NF-A4x10) so temperature can be significantly lowered (from 60+ C to cca 35C in my case - see sshot).

Intentionaly big hole for USB is created as USB power connector is locked with hot glue (easily removable using IPO).

Project is still in progress as I will be adding mounting holes and such as I am building up my printer enclosure. But as it is RPI enclosure works perfectly.

To finish it - only M3 screws are needed (printed threads are used instead of nuts). Rest is optional or Noctua fan accessories were used.

Enjoy!
