Pisound Acrylic Case

pisound-case

A simple but really sturdy and beautiful case for your Pisound and Raspberry Pi. The enclosure is cut from semi-transparent 3 mm thick acrylic sheet with cutouts for the Output ports and the Volume and Gain potentiometers.

The Pisound Acrylic Case consists of 3 cutout sheets of the enclosure sides and a plastic bag containing 4 short spacers, 4 longer ones and a button cap. The case comes with 2 variations of the side with all of the connectors - one for use with Raspberry Pi versions 4B and 5, the other is for Pi's 2B and 3B. Make sure to use the correct one for your Raspberry Pi.

Assembly Instructions

  1. Peel off the protective film from all of the acrylic parts.
  2. Screw the 25 mm Pisound standoffs (J) to the shortest 5mm standoffs (N) leaving your Pi (L) sandwiched in between.
  3. Mount the Pisound board (H) on top of the Pi (L) and fix it with the 8mm standoffs. (E)
  4. Mount the jack side of the case (I)1 and screw the jack socket nuts (K). The jack socket washers should be on the outer side of the case.
  5. Attach the bottom side of the case (O) and fix it with the Pisound 6mm screws. (P)
  6. Slide the MIDI ports side (D), USB ports side (M)2 and the headers side (G) into the bottom part of the enclosure. Engravings should be facing the internal side.
  7. Place the top side of the case (C) on top of the construction leaving the button cap (F) in between.
  8. Screw the remaining 4 screws (B) and push the knobs (A) on.

  1. Use the correct piece depending on your Raspberry Pi version. For Pi 4, you will have to punch out the hole for the 3.5mm audio jack on the Raspberry Pi 4 board. Either use the tips of your fingers to budge the pre-cut hole cap out, or use a small object to punch it out, please mind your fingers to avoid any injury. ↩

  2. It may have to be flipped horizontally depending on your Raspberry Pi version. ↩

You can also 3D-print your own case. All necessary files can be found here. Only Raspberry Pi 2B and 3B models supported.
