Hi Folks!

First post:

Had a chat with the folks at Core this afternoon, and was able to install the driver for this [https://core-electronics.com.au/3-5inch-display-module-touch-lcd-with-stylus-for-raspberry-pi-3.html](https://core-electronics.com.au/3-5inch-display-module-touch-lcd-with-stylus-for-raspberry-pi-3.html) on the Desktop version of Raspbian by following the steps here: [3.5inch RPi LCD (A) - Waveshare Wiki](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/3.5inch_RPi_LCD_(A))

Was told that only Pi4 cases are stocked by Core that will house this screen, and I would be best to 3D print a solution for it and my Pi3B.

As I do not have a 3D printer, can anyone let me know where else I can find a case for this kit? My Google Foo has let me down.

Hey Musicalchairs,

Welcome to the forum 😁

Core has a great [3D printing service](https://core-electronics.com.au/service-3d-printing-small-model-200gm.html) that might be good to utilise in this situation.

You will obviously need the model as well though, just taking a quick look on Thingiverse, I found [this one](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3157564/makes) that looks like pretty suitable, though it has a slightly taller clearance on top to make room for a HAT for the Pi, however this shouldn’t cause any issues if you don’t include one.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Owen.  
I did not know this service was available, and that case looks perfect for what I am after.  
Legend!
