That looks like Ralph's case.

Yah, that's my case that not-so "coolJ" posted there without asking...

Actually I don't think it is your design. I compared the case I bought from you over a year and a half ago (before I owned a printer), with a print of this design and there are some small differences. The most obvious is where the back "clips in" yours is rounded and this is squared off. Overall the fit is excellent though.

I finally loaded all the programs and checked the file
All I see on the tree with 4 line is
4line-TC-Rpi-A+
Could you create one for a PiB 4 line, unless I misunderstood how to create the stl from the source.
Hope you had a great vacation!

How do you power the Raspberry Pi with this case?

...unless I've been powering my RPi/HM combo incorrectly all along...

You should never have a USB to mini USB connector in the Rpi. Only the heatermeter plug gets power and it will power the pi

As implied by my second post, quoted above, I realized I've been powering my heatermeter/raspberry pi combo wrong. Redundantly even. I've been powering the raspberry pi AND the hm, ...for longer than I'm willing to admit. Sorry to derail the thread.

The pi zero w is so small it would fit in any case, I would go with the model A case which wouldn't have the openings for the LAN/USB ports.

The only 4-line case I see in the model file is for the old Pi A+, so I don't think there's a 4-line Pi B version.

Does anyone have a 3D model of the 4.2.4 Heatermeter board with 2 line display? I'm in the process of designing my own case with integrated rechargeable batteries. Thanks!

I know I do not have a 3D model of any of the HeaterMeter circuit boards, and I am pretty sure Tom didn't make one when designing the 4.2 case either. There are so many tall components sticking up from the board that it can be approximated with two cubes, one the size of the HeaterMeter PCB except ~15mm thick. The other the size of the LCD module, 80x30x13mm. The placement of the holes you can just pull from the 4.2 case model in Fusion360.

Thanks, Bryan. I wanted to ask before I took the time modeling it in Inventor. There are a ton of the individual components available on various 3D parts sites, so I may just cross-reference your parts list and make an assembly.

I've got the HeaterMeter 4.2.4/Rasp Pi B assembly together and only included the tallest components. If anyone wants the 3D model I will provide it. Just ask.

Oh wow, I will shut my mouth now. That looks great!

Would you mind sharing this CAD model? I have a little spare time and was thinking about designing a small-as-possible 4.2 case for the Pi Zero W and that model would be a great starting point. Thanks!
An FYI for those looking for a case for a HM 4.2 with Raspberry Pi Zero W (RPi Zero W); the 2line-TC-Rpi-A+ or 2line-probe-Rpi-A+ cases work as is, as does the Heater Meter 4.2 Sliding Back Case located at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1401249
