Most perfectly fitting Raspberry Pi Paper Case

Previously I downloaded the famous Punnet paper case (http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1310), but unfortunately it was not really fitting. The base area was too broad and the holes for audio out, HDMI and micro USB not properly placed.

Therefore I measured the whole Raspberry Pi in detail and quickly drew a case based on the Punnet, but without the annoying bugs.



You can choose which file to DOWNLOAD:

I think you are smart enough to figure out where to cutfold and glue ;-)
The case has to be folded in a way that the lines are inside!
Keep in mind that you uncheck "Fit to printable area", and that you do not use scaling for printing.

Further, if you glue paper edges above the HDMI and the micro-USB plug, the board is even more stable in the case! There is no wobbling or squeezing (See photos for details).

Here some photos of the resulting paper case:
