It was also a really nice learning experience for me and a test for the new TopoNaming algorithm. I have abused it in any way attaching sketches everywhere but on datum planes and in 99% of the cases it worked like magic when modifying geometry deep whithin the history of the tree. I apologize to all the seasoned FC users for the "flawed" workflow but Realthunder is right saying that the new toponaming algo will enable faster trouble free modeling.
While recording the second part of the Pi case tutorial I realized that I wont be able to share the FreeCad model freely because of the imported step file of the board. This being work of another person it would be bad etiquette. So I decided to model my own in FreeCad LinkStage3 for everyone to share.

The model can be downloaded here and there are files saved as folders for every part of the tutorial: https://github.com/oficinerobotica/RasberryPi2-Case
The ports on the board are in no way modeled to spec but a really close representation for the purpose of the tutorial but this being a git repo who knows, we can update it and make a perfect model.
For this model and tutorials to work you need FreeCAD LinkSage3 daily from here: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_ ... 3/releases
The purpose of this model was to give it a try at "in context" modeling and assembly using the new tools present in LinStage3. This is the end result:
