3D model description

I had an old Adafruit PiTFT 3.5" Touch Screen for Raspberry Pi not being used and decided to pair it with a spare Raspberry Pi 2 to try and make a portable computer.
I used the instructions from here to setup and configure the Pi. However I was unable to find a suitable case to fit this particular combo.

"This PiTFT 3.5" is designed to fit nicely onto the original Pi 1 Model A or B but also works OK with the Raspberry Pi Zero, 4, 3, 2 Model B or Pi Model A+ or B+ as long as you don't mind the PCB overhangs the USB ports by 5mm."

Eventually, I found the Mini PiMac DIY Kit and used this as the starting point for my case. I used Blender to move the cutouts and mounting pins to the correct positions.

I doubt anyone else is likely to have exactly this situation but I decided to share it anyway.
