Case for Radxa Taco v1.61





Description
A case for the v1.61 version of the Radxa Taco carrier board for the Raspberry Pi CM5. This is specifically for the updated v1.61 Taco board for the CM5, which has a different port layout that is incompatible with the older v1.3 board intended for the CM4.
This case is designed to use the acrylic top panel that is included with the v1.61 version of the Taco board. I've created my own brackets for the HDDs to replace the acrylic ones, but this case is compatible with either.
I use standard M3 PC case screws to attach the front panel to the main case. My version uses M3 heatset inserts, which you'll need a soldering iron to install. If you'd rather not use heatset inserts, I've also provided an "insertless" STL with screw holes sized for M3 screws, but which may not be a durable as the inserts.
If editing the FreeCAD file, note that the linear patterns used for the vents were causing serious slowdowns on my computer. I created a "draftPerformanceMode" flag in the CAD file's Spreadsheet to make this problem less painful. Set the value to zero and all of the vents will render properly but you may experience severe lag in the app.
