Raspberry Pi 5 review: The holy grail of DIY projects got even better (and rarer)
The Raspberry Pi 5 is one of the most powerful consumer-grade SBCs out there. Sadly, its limited stock means you'll have a hard time finding one.
Someone designed a 3D printable Raspberry Pi Monitor stand for everyone to use
This cool creation comes to us by eracoon on the Raspberry Pi subreddit. The Raspberry Pi Monitor was advertised as part of a two-piece setup alongside the Raspberry Pi 500 to create a mini PC you can customize. Still, while the monitor does come with its little stand, it doesn't quite have the same standing power as the ones you find on bigger screens.
Eraccoon's solution was to make a stand that anyone can download and 3D print for themselves. It even has a little alcove that snugly fits a Pi 5 for easier SBC storage, although you can also fit a Pi 2, 3, or 4 in there if you so desire. Check it out:
Apart from the little Pi nook, the stand comes with an impressive array of features. It features pathways for wires, so you don't have to worry about cable management, and its design allows it to be 3D printed without any support. It also takes up very little room, which is perfect for those cluttered workbenches.
