Modify the PiSugar 3Copy Anchor Link

You'll need a soldering iron to move the battery. It ships on the left, blocking the USB-C charging port. You need it on the right to fit the case and reach the port. Don't just fold it over: the short wires point left, and bending them sharply can break a wire or pull a solder pad off the board. Desolder the red and black wires, turn the battery over, then solder the wires back onto their original pads so they run to the right.

Assemble the caseCopy Anchor Link

The LoloBox case is open source. Download the base and lid from MakerWorld and print them. Keep the power off.

Turn on and SSH inCopy Anchor Link

Connect the charger to the PiSugar 3 and press its power button once.

Wait a few minutes, then find the box's IP address in your router's device list. From a computer on the same network, connect with the user you created:

ssh <username>@<ip-address>
