Professional Raspberry Pi housing from Weidmüller
The u-maker Box offers more than just simple protection of sensitive electronics. The modular design allows for flexible adaptation so that makers can create their projects regardless of their complexity. The housing is compatible with ActionCam accessories, facilitating a broad spectrum of custom modification options. In addition, the u-maker Box offers space to integrate supplementary boards.

Do-it-yourself makers can expand the functions of their mini single-board computer with the “u-maker Box” Raspberry Pi 4 housing, in order to take full advantage of the board’s potential. The extension from Weidmüller software even makes the u-maker Box interesting for programmers.

“u-maker Box” Raspberry Pi housing offers multiple advantages
The u-maker Box combines an appealing design with user benefits. Users can adapt the u-maker Box to fit their needs. Designed for makers, the u-maker Box impresses with its simple and dynamic design, which integrates well into the user’s home. An extension kit supplements the u-maker Box base kit. It contains an extended module and plug-in accessories. These make it possible to attach different elements such as boards, cables, fans, and other electronic components.




A special feature of the u-maker Box is that it can be expanded floor by floor. The housing can be structured on different levels. The individual levels can be filled with different components, such as other boards. The u-maker Box is not restricted to Raspberry Pi 4; boards from third-party providers can also be easily integrated. The cube shape of the housing also offers space for an 80mm fan. These are more powerful and quieter than smaller variants, making them ideal for home use.

Pi housing with templates for 3D printing
Weidmüller offers 3D printing templates for its u-maker Box. They can easily be downloaded from Weidmüller's Thingiverse platform and printed out directly on a 3D printer. The templates contain patterns that expand the horizon of applications for Raspberry Pi. Users have the option of modifying and adjusting the templates to fit their needs. This allows users to combine accessories of many different types and from many different providers with the u-maker Box.

“u-OS” open operating system for Raspberry Pi
As a partner for Smart Industrial Connectivity, Weidmüller offers a variety of solutions in Industrial IoT and automation. The Raspberry Pi 4 can be expanded seamlessly with the new, open u-OS operating system from the electronics company. The expandable, web-based system can be easily adapted to the user’s individual needs, even without programming expertise.
