It took me two and a half years. All that time, my Raspberry Pi Zero setup was rather deplorable. The poor device hung from its USB power cord, taped to a shelf in my apartment. While the web is full of cases for this model, few of them are tailored to the Pimoroni Inky pHAT display I had on mine. I finally designed a laser-cut box that fits this particular setup to the millimeter, allowing for a more robust installation. The box includes a generic PCB holder bracket and can be fully assembled without using any glue. Instead, four M3 screws hold it together, which means that one can reopen it at will. Four additional M2 screws tie the circuit board to the bracket. I share below the design for a 3 mm material, such as MDF or acrylic. Enjoy :-)
