Housindg deformed after sun exposure #85

Open W-Geronius opened 1 month ago

After exposure to NL sun for 1 day, the lower part of the housing is deformed. This means that it is no longer watertight.

I also noticed this problem on one of my displays but not so extrem. However, it only occurs when the display is not mounted. If the display is mounted on a flat surface, the deformation should disappear. It may help to put the part in the oven at 80...90°C with the back on a glass plate. After cooling, it should be flat again.

Currently, PLA was chosen as the material, which heats up to around 90°C when exposed to direct sunlight. Other materials would certainly be more suitable, such as PETG.
