I worked on a simple case design that would accommodate the following heat sink: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B825RVSY
If you’re interested, I’ve uploaded the STLs here for free: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5849705

STLs for a minimal case

Very nice! I like the open top.
I’m working on my own case. I’m pretty new to cad/3dprinting. What techniques did you use to get the I/O ports placed so exactly? Was there much trial-and-error involved?
If there is a 3d model for the board available you can import it into your 3d modeling program and reference everything to it - then delete the board’s model (or just hide it) before converting to STL. Really dead simple in Fusion 360 or similar modeling programs.
Of course you model will then depend a lot on the accuracy of the 3d model for the board. The one Radxa published for the Rock5b is pretty close but it does have a few mistakes work around. Those you get to find by trail and error.

Could you specify the mistakes? The 3D model we published is the one we used to make the ROCK 5B Metal Case.
I’ll have to go back and look. This was all before Christmas and my memory isn’t that good. Traveling this week so can’t get to it for a few days.
There’s a 3D model in the forums that you can import. Seemed to work well for me
When comparing the model to photos, there seemed to be dimensional inaccuracies, but taking a few more pictures, seems it was just my bad photography.
