The compact sibling of Chimney Pi — a fully ventilated, actively cooled enclosure for your SBC. Four ventilated panels and a top mesh grille provide all-around airflow, driven by a 40mm PWM fan at the base. The snap-fit panel design makes assembly straightforward and tool-light. The white frame and gray panel color scheme gives it a clean, mini-PC aesthetic that looks at home on any desk. Compatible with: - Raspberry Pi 5 (tested with NVMe hat and Active Cooler — snug fit) - Radxa X4 Note: Raspberry Pi 5 GPIO header extension does not fit. What's included: - STEP files for all printed parts (8 parts for Pi 5, 9 for Radxa X4) - Full assembly guide with exploded views, print settings, and step-by-step photo instructions - PWM fan control code and wiring guide for Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS (via GitHub) Hardware required: - Noctua NF-A4x10 5V PWM (40mm base fan) - Radxa X4 build additionally requires a second NF-A4x10 and a 40×40×11mm heat sink - M2.5 heat inserts and screws The 40mm fan is optional for Pi 5 builds with an Active Cooler installed. For maximum cooling performance, check out the full-sized Chimney Pi with a 60mm Noctua fan.
