Summary
I integrated a raspberry pi inside of the CR-10 electronics case.
Instructions
Cut a 54mm x 20mm hole 11mm from the top and 40mm from the back of the case.
Epoxy pi mount in place. I don’t have measurements of where the mount should be placed as I kind of winged it by attaching the pi to the mount and then placing it where it needed to be.
Epoxy the IO cover to the outside of the case.
Note: The raspberry pi is placed directly over the cable tie mount. The mount will still be usable after installation the wires will just have to be run under the pi.
In addition to the raspberry pi mount there is a mount for a single channel relay and a LM2596 DC-DC adapter with spacers to mount it above the raspberry pi.
Note: If you just want to integrate the raspberry pi and power it with independently the power supply cable can be put through the existing cable grommet.
The pi is powered from the 12V power supply using the LM2596 and using the relay to toggle power to the CR-10 main board. The rear exhaust fan was, replaced with a quieter fan, and rewired to be powered on independently of the main board so that it runs as long as the power supply is switched on. The front fan still powers on with the main board.
I have had this setup install for about 2 weeks now and the printer has been running pretty much non stop since and I have had no issues.
Next time I open the case I will take some pictures of the inside.

As for screws: I used the screws that held the old thicker exhaust fan to mount everything as they were the perfect length. To mount the new fan I used some M3x12mm screws that I had around.
