3D model description

This enclosure accommodates a common AC to 5v (5A & 8A) PSU from ebay/aliexpress, and a Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi Model B+ (probably Pi3 too, but not tested yet).
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191733870857 - 5v 5a/8a - 110mm*78mm*35mm

The Pi is my HTPC running OSMC and my intention was to provide enough amps to run ambilight/hyperion/boblight LEDs and keep cable mess to a minimum by integrating the power and pi into one box.

The area above the Pi provides space for a prototype circuit - Arduino Nano, Pro Mini, or a logic lever shifter like I've done.

Still to do:
- Design mounting system (VESA possibly).

UPDATE:
V4:
- Airflow slots at the PSU end and in the proto area.
- Dowel ridge around the sides of the case for better alignment of the 2 halves when screwed together and for strength (very loose tolerance at the moment).
- Re-designed bottom vent holes.
- Mesh now as tidy as I'll get it.
- PSU moved 1mm closer to the side to give more room for cables on the other side.

UPDATE:
V3:
- Tidied mesh some more.
- Fixed the ethernet & usb ports area so it fits the Pi nice.
- Added hole by the USB ports for running wires out of the case.
- Changed the fan hole, to accept any fan between 30mm and 60mm. Note: if using one of the smaller fans, there will be large holes around it.
- enlarged the holes around the USB power, HDMI and 3.5mm jack ports.

UPDATE:
V2:
- Added 4th screw hole.
- Pi has been moved 6mm up to make space for 4th screw hole.
- Enlarged screw holes for larger head screws (9mm head will fit)
- Mesh is a little more tidy, more dimensional accuracy.
