The Raspberry Pi finds itself in an ever-expanding gamut of project types…wearables, drones, internet of things and other embedded gizmos…and there are times when an extra-slim version of this already diminutive wonderputer would be just the thing. Here we’ll show how to trim some fat from the Raspberry Pi Model B+. You’ll lose the Ethernet port and at least two of the USB ports, so this is really suited only to projects where size or weight take priority over connectivity.

DISCLAIMER: performing these modifications can be really rough on the board…this can easily go wrong and render the Pi inoperable. This is best attempted by experienced hobbyists. And even then…

Seriously. Don’t attempt this on your precious one and only board. Always mount a scratch monkey.
