If you are putting a lot of effort into a Raspberry Pi project, you want it to be securely and thoughtfully packaged. Easy handling and great flexibility are important requirements, which our modular u-maker Box with accessories and 3D print templates meets with flying colors. The simple, individually expandable box fits inside any control cabinet and on any top-hat rail. Is the Weidmüller u-maker Box right for your project?
Attach RasPi and PCBs quickly, easily
and in a modular fashion.
Wall mounting or attachment
to the frame possible.
Use actioncam equipment
for even easier handling.
Display kit and many other 3D
print templates available.
For all DIY makers who develop solutions for their smart home or automate small applications.
The u-maker Box is also used in scientific research and test laboratories in the private sector.
The box also looks great in the control cabinet. The Weidmüller quality you trust for your production.
We know makers have access to 3D printers and enjoy using their equipment to make their ideas a reality. Join the 3D printing community and produce any u-maker Box accessory yourself.
Our Weidmuller u-maker Box 3D print templates on thingiverse and printables offer you a wide range of options. Use it as a basis for your individual ideas.

Are you a maker with advanced ambitions looking for a Linux-based, open and independent operating system? Do you want to take your Raspberry Pi project to a new IoT level with your own or 3rd party applications via root access? With u-OS, we are ushering in a new era of smart production, automation and integration for our industrial customers . We will soon be launching the u-OS Community Edition, which allows you to use the advantages for your Raspberry Pi project free of charge.
With magnet technology on each corner, each u-maker housing can be opened and closed again easily with no need for tools. Extension is modular; the modules can also be stacked easily using the magnet technology.
The magnets will usually stand up to your application. But if the vibrations are too great, the levels and modules can be screwed together. There is a screw and nut opening in each corner of the module for manual screw connection. The cover can be included following prior drilling – there are markings on the inside of the cover for this purpose. Just use conventional screws.
In the u-maker Box Basis Kit, a small 5.08 PCB can be attached alongside the Raspberry Pi using the screws enclosed at the appropriate screw connection points.
For larger PCBs and electronic modules, the u-maker Box Extension Kit is needed. This module includes horizontal and vertical universal holders. Simply push onto the housing corners from the side – a wide range of different PCBs can be mounted using the screws included.
The accessories can be adapted easily using diagonal-cutting pliers or cutters.
The u-maker Box Extension Kit gives you the option of extending the housing upwards as far as you like – level by level. That means that the Raspberry Pi housing offers enough space to integrate multiple additional modules.
Mounting using screw connection points in the module or with the universal holders provided.
The u-maker Box has removable side walls for the connections. Both modules – the Basis and Extension Kit – offer the option of removing the side walls to make space for the cables and plugs of the installed electronics.
If you like, you can also make new side walls for the u-maker Box, or adapt existing ones, using our 3D print templates .
The u-maker Box Basis Kit has hidden ventilation slits for cooling the housing. Additional holes can also be drilled in the cover for more cooling. The stencil incorporated in the cover makes it easy.
When conducting applications that require a lot of computing power, the Raspberry Pi becomes very warm and needs additional cooling from a fan. The u-maker Box is designed so that an 80 mm fan can be installed in the Extension Kit. The mounting accessories are included in the packaging.
If you prefer smaller, louder fans, you can use these as well. Just select and print the right 3D print template for mounting.
The u-maker Box Basis Kit comes with two clip holders for external installation. That allows connection to common action cam accessories (e.g. GoPro), such as magnetic, clamp and adhesive holders.
You can also mount the u-maker Box on a wall using one of the holders. There are also holders for industrial applications, so the u-maker Box can be hung on the top hat rail in a control cabinet.
Additional brackets in the u-maker Box holders offer the option of fixing the conductors in place with cable ties to provide strain relief.
Of course! Each u-maker Box Basis Kit module has space for one Raspberry Pi 4. Of course, multiple u-maker Basis Kits can be stacked on top of each other magnetically for your u-maker Box.
If you like, you can ventilate 4 Raspberry Pis on top of each other with an 80 mm fan in the housing from the side. To do this, you need to remove the base plates of the 3 stacked u-maker Box Basis housings. Markings on the enclosure bottom show you the easiest place to do this.
