FrameOS

3D-printed cases

Design a parametric case for your panel and Pi in the browser, download an STL, print it.

A frame isn't finished until it stops looking like electronics. The FrameOS Case Maker at cases.frameos.net generates a parametric, 3D-printable case around your exact panel and Raspberry Pi - in the browser, powered by OpenSCAD.

The FrameOS Case Maker

Pick your panel model and Pi, then customise:

  • case depth and bezel dimensions
  • print-in-place kickstands
  • wall-mounting holes
  • USB power cutouts
  • screw posts and heat-set insert holes
  • SD card access, side buttons, Pi cooling

…then download the STL and print it.

Printed cases with kickstands

The case designs are open source at github.com/FrameOS/cases - PRs with new panel dimensions are very welcome. For a full build walkthrough (13.3" and 7.3" Spectra panels, slim builds, USB-C ports, heat-set inserts), watch the e-ink build video.

Pricing

FrameOS is free and open source, and so is running it yourself. FrameOS Cloud is free for a normal home; paid plans from $2 a month cover heavy use and keep a bootstrapped project going.
