I'm slowly working out a case design in Tinkercad.

Does anyone know if it's OK to put the NRF module close and parallel as the RPi?

Tinkercad link if anyone's interested.

Still on the journey...

Finished a v0.2 notes:

• Now have a printed case! See pics below.
• The Radio and the Arduino needed to have the header pins soldered upside down.
• The NRF24L01+PA+LNA doesn't come that way, so I had to de/re solder the pins. Not the simplest.
• The fan screws get in the way of the serial gateway assembly.

Ideas for gen v0.3:

• Turn Arduino and Radio 90 degrees , basically make a sandwich. I think there is enough room if I use a double sided perf board.
• I'd need smaller 3mm LEDs instead of the 5mm one's I've got... I've got some on order.
• Also want a fresh radio module, if I don't have to flip the pins it would be easier for anyone else to do it.
• Alignment pins - the Magnets do a good job, but little gaps are not ideal.

Again for anyone interested here's the updated tinker cad link: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/3NuVSR723k2
