      I'm designing a case for retropie and I need to know how high the bottom of the micro usb port for the power block is when it is attached to a rpi 3.

        I have some digital calipers, and this was literally on my list of things to do today... Sorry, but I should be able to get to it maybe monday or tues. I just cant tonight.

          ( Note: I tried my hardest to make sure that these were the correct numbers through multiple measurements because I also need these numbers for myself, but use at your own risk since my calipers would sometimes give tiny bit different measurements... some may require a tiny amount of "give & take" so err on the side of "optimistic." )

          I am using a digital caliper set to use the "mm" function.

          Pi width is: 56.10mm
          PowerBlock width is: 56.09mm
          Distance between the top of the Pi, and the bottom of the Powerblock are: 10.85mm
          PowerBlock thickness is: 1.63mm
          Widest MiniUSB length: 7.96mm
          MiniUSB height: 3.06mm
          Edge of MiniUSB to end of PowerBlock 1 (Excluding the MiniUSB): 17.07mm
          Edge of MiniUSB to end of PowerBlock 2 (Excluding the MiniUSB: 31.00mm
