BeagleBone enclosure
BeagleBone


 * Craig at Built-to-Spec put his design files for a BeagleBone enclosure on Thingiverse so anyone could make one from transparent acrylic with a laser cutter (or whatever color you want).
 * Mike Doell designed a transparent plastic enclosure for Adafruit to hold a BeagleBone Black
 * Pazdan makes enclosures milled out of solid aluminum for Adafruit to hold a BeagleBone Black
 * Logic Supply designed an enclosure for the Beaglebone -- steel with orange or textured black paint.
 * "beaglebone black" at thingiverse has many enclosure designs.

According to a "Raspberry Pi Zero, Pi 2, B+, A+, Compute Module Dev Kit Comparison Chart", the PCBs themselves are:


 * 85 mm x 56 mm : Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and B+
 * 65 mm x 56 mm : Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+
 * 65 mm x 30 mm : Raspberry Pi Compute Module
 * 65 mm x 30 mm : Raspberry Pi Zero

working with foamcore
Edge of Space Sciences (EOSS) needs lightweight, well-insulated, and reasonably strong enclosures to (a) insulate the electronics package during transit through the cold ( -50 &deg;F ) tropopause on its way to the stratosphere, and the more difficult job of (b) keep the recovery beacon operational after crash-landing on Earth.

The foamcore seemed to work best after EOSS flight tests with molded Styrofoam packaging material, built-up insulation-grade Styrofoam sheet, bulk closed-cell polyethylene foam, and foamcore sheet.

Mike Manes, W5VSI (and Doug Gentges ?) has written some tips on building EOSS enclosures out of foamcore and hot glue and a bit of Kapton tape: "Foamcore Payload Construction"; "Package Requirements"; "Foamcore Flight Experience"; "Foamcore Adhesives"; "Making Holes"; "Planning the Package".
