Sometimes a camera just needs a sock.
The Flock Sock is a slip on cover designed to help protect a Flock camera from the harmful radiation of the sun. Your city spent their very own hard earned tax dollars scattering these cameras everywhere to keep you safe, all it cost you was a little privacy. The very least you can do is help protect these valuable civil servants from getting a bad sunburn.
Definitely don’t print that in PLA so it melts all over the camera in the sun. That’ll be awful to remove.
This is overblown. I’ve had a little watering can I printed for the kids sitting outside during these heat waves all summer and it hasn’t deformed at all. Slightly bleached from the sun, but same shape.
Doesn’t pla become brittle? And it takes a while? I printed out a plug for my motorcycle in PLA a couple years ago that I have been meaning to replace but it’s been just fine so far and it’s in the sun when I’m riding.
It melts at a lower temperature than other thermoplastics, but still not till closer to boiling water temperatures. If you put PLA in boiling water it’ll deform, whereas other plastics will still hold up at that temperature
Doesn’t pla become brittle?
Maybe.
Eventually.
But but I’ve had PLA light shades and garden decorations out in the weather (direct sun, rain, freezing temperatures) for 3-4 years without any noticeable deterioration.
I hope no one finds out that a class 3 laser is enough to burn the sensor rendering the camera inoperable.
Be careful about pointing a class 3 above the horizon. Pilots can see it if they are within a 8km radius.
How ironic that it’s hosted at Makerworld, which is effectively a CCP platform for widespread surveillance and IP theft.
effectively a CCP platform for widespread surveillance and IP theft
source:
It’s run by Bambu Labs, a Chinese state-subsidised company that’s notorious for nudging users globally to let Internet-connected 3D printers map their home LANs and upload that info, plus name, address & other billing details, plus all their 3D models, to Chinese “cloud” servers where the CCP can siphon off any models useful for advancing Chinese industry.
They’re also notorious for letting Makerworld users rip off each others’ designs in flagrant violation of the design licenses. Look on Reddit or 3D printing forums and you’ll see tons of people complaining about this.
Bambu Labs also recently egregiously violated the AGPL by threatening a lawsuit against Pavel Jarczak, a hobbyist who found a perfectly legal workaround to reduce BL control over people’s printers. This was a big deal: the Software Freedom Conservancy, Louis Rossmann, and Gamers Nexus all pledged action.
Bambu Labs and Makerworld stand for dictatorship, authoritarianism, and kleptocracy.
If you support FOSS, user rights, and democracy, you really ought to boycott them.

So no source at all for most of your claims. Thanks
thats definitely not what just happened there
I see no source for the claims you initially made. You made other claims then backed those.
Would be a better design if it was vase mode printable.
Most slicers can do that for you.
Only if its design allows and this one would be a issue.
Unless it’s a Faraday bag or something it’s not going to stop the signal tracking right? Might as well be a plastic bag.
Wrap with aluminum foil tape:
Anybody in the Seattle area need me to print up a batch?
