Need Extended Power Button & Custom Top Cover Ideas for Flirc Raspberry Pi 5 Case

[Bishopedd]

Hi everyone,

I’m using the Flirc case for the Raspberry Pi 5 and love its passive-cooling design, but I’ve run into two small issues that I hope the community can help me solve:

1. Power Button Too Short
   When assembling the case, you slot the tiny side-mounted power button into place before securing the Pi with the screws. On my unit, that button barely protrudes once everything is tightened, so it’s hard to press without digging a fingernail in.

   • Has anyone designed (or found) a 3-D printable extender or replacement button that sticks out a little further?

   • If you’ve already printed one, could you share the STL file or point me to a repo/Thingiverse link?

   • Alternatively, does anyone sell a slightly longer drop-in power button for this case?

2. Custom Top Cover
   The stock top plate—the matte black lid—looks nice, but I’d like to customize it (add ventilation slots, logo cut-outs, or even a clear acrylic top to show off LEDs).

   • Are there any existing templates for a replacement top panel that fits the Flirc Pi 5 chassis?

   • If you’ve created your own, what material and thickness worked best, and did you need to tweak mounting tolerances?

Any tips, STL files, or photos of your mods would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
