Banana Pi BPI-R3 Mini Router board case design
anyone have good idea. free duscuss at here
BPI-R3 Mini DXF file :
Extra holes with a cap for 5G/4G modems, 2 right, 2 left it would be nice.

i miss some ventilation holes…i guess the board get also hot in this closed case like fullsize r3
CPU On the bottom , so can use the whole shell for heat dissipation
Any chance you’d share the CAD files? Design looks good but would be great to make a version that has antennas to the side (say for a cellular modem)
Banana Pi BPI-R3 Mini Router case ,which are you like??
BPI-R3 Mini router DXF file :
I am missing the integrated switch chip and ports. Hoping for a more-than-5-port integrated switch chip.
I have a SoHo switch manufacturer making 8 x 2.5GbE with 10G SFP+, would be nice to have that integrated on the board.
BPI-R3 can support 2x2.5G + 5x1000M 。 BPI-R4 support 2x10G , R3-Mini just support 2x2.5G for size limited.
can you send me the size measures of the case? wanna know if it fits in my pocket
The size is: 69 x 69 x 34 mm
Hi, can you give me dimensions (drawings, CAD or DXF file) of bottom side case backplate for main chip + WiFi chip + LAN chips + inductors? I want make custom cooler for cooling hot components, but i have no accurate heights of the components.
I really wanted small travel router. The GL.iNet Beryl AX compared to old AR-750S is really large and heavy. So, I tried my best to design compact case for BPI R3 Mini. The case is print-in-place without supports with interlocked antennas.
Thermals are not bad, but not yet great either yet. I have to figure bigger heatsinks to cover SoC. Overall CPU now sits at around 70oC when using re-purposed (small) heatsinks from RPI3B. The case is good to hold in hand, being at around 40oC.
The antennas are supposed to be 5dbi 2x50x14mm flex antennas. The 3rd antenna is supposed to be anything that can be stored in a case.
The current weight is at 84g, but final is probably closer to 100g once larger heatsinks are added.
The case dimensions are 69x69x29, 83.5x69x29 with side antennas included. Compared to AR-750S it is a little smaller, and ligher, but 5mm taller. Compared to Beryl AX it is night and day. Over 2x lighter and way, way smaller.
very cool , maybe we need do a Plastic shell, it is a good idea???
I think the heatsinks or fan needs to be changed. I was thinking that maybe putting 4010 or 3007 fan would be better idea overall instead of turbine.
