For a portable device like this I would be worried about leaving it in the car if it's PLA. You can easily see 70c inside a car on a hot sunny day.
That said, you can heat treat standard PLA to make it resistant to temperature.
- dogma1138 6y agoI wouldn’t leave a raspberry pi in a car that gets to 70c due to a very likely risk of damaging the BGA SoC and other soldered components.
- jrockway 6y agoThe SoC doesn't thermal throttle until 85C. It is not going to desolder from being inside a hot car.
- Damogran6 6y agoDoesn't PLA get dimensionally unstable with heat treating?
- ehnto 6y agoIt usually is yeah, but you can sometimes get good results. I think it depends a lot on the heat level against the specific print you are doing.
