Yet Another Raspberry-Pi case in OpenSCAD

I needed a case for a Raspberry Pi 4B for a project, looked at those available in the usual places, and didn't find something that quite met my needs. I wanted a case which I could bolt to a sheet of plywood, so I wanted holes for a pair of 8-32 heat-set threaded inserts in the lid. I also wanted it to be well-ventilated to avoid overheating.

So I created one (from scratch) in OpenSCAD:

I think it turned out quite well:

And the two parts of the case snap together securely:

For those who would want to make use of it (​CC BY-SA), the OpenSCAD and STL files are available in this archive. If you do make use of it, I'd love to hear from you.
