You might also like to add the RPi 5 fan that is OS controlled.
Case Assembly guide
1. Remove the acrylic protective film from the two plates
2. Install the standoffs first. Push the male part of the short standoffs through the RPi board mounting holes from the bottom upwards. Use the Female Female standoffs as nuts on the top of the RPi board.
3. Mount the fan and fan grill on the top acrylic plate.
4. Mount the top and bottom acrylic plates using the eight M2.5x8 screws.
5. Connect your fan power cable to the GPIO port.
Hint
Why are there four extra holes on the bottom plate?
If you buy four 5mm standoffs with M2.5 nuts and M2.5x4 screws, you'll be able to mount an HQ camera on the bottom plate of the case, on which you can then add a tripod.
