Sam Posted January 31, 2024 Report Posted January 31, 2024 Hi all, I noticed my Flirc RPi4 case's top/bottom black plastic bits are kind of .. melted/sticky to touch. The environment it's in isn't that hot, but the RPi itself does get hot often from use (around 40-50c), to which the case also gets hot - as expected, since it's a passive-cooling case. It leaves fingerprint marks when I touch it - feeling sticky. Could this be a manufacturing issue that may need to be looked into for future versions? Anything I can do about this? I tried cleaning it with a wet cloth but that didn't help - it made Quote

Gently cleaning with isopropyl alcohol can help, and contacting Flirc support for a replacement is also an option if it’s under warranty. Newer batches may have an improved finish.
