Neutral:
- The decomposed plexiglass housing for Pi is delivered in a plastic packaging that is the packaging for a mobile phone case, according imprint. Very professional acts not ...
Negatives:
- It is the set with no guidance. (But this would be in Germany to my knowledge with any product liability) There are instead only a torn scrap of paper about 3x10cm with a QR code or a link to it.
Following this QR-link, one arrives at a amateurishly produced YouTube video. ("Tutorial")
Herein, the manufacturer declares in rapidly spoken English and with some blurry American accent the assembly of the housing. However, this is when the housing is not shown to the supplied housing of B +, but the fundamental basis Pre way it should be enough.
- The housing cover had a little filing at two edges, so that the hinged lid without violence connected or can be opened again. (Risk of breakage)
- For instructions on which chips which heat sink is to be adhered, is completely missing. The heat sinks are glued with double-sided tape, or the like a thermal compound there is not any.
The biggest shortcoming from my perspective:
The board of Pi is mechanically locked in or on the body only through the 3.5mm audio / video jack something. When attaching and detaching the GPIO connector as the board swings about several millimeters up / down. (On the side of the SD card). The claims board mechanically completely unnecessary. Now the Pi has actually four mounting holes in its board. Then you could so beautiful in the bottom plate of the acrylic housing also milling four holes and screw the Pi-board with four standoffs with the acrylic base plate. Would consider bombproof, not sags and is actually within the meaning of (pilot) inventor ... Actually ... ;-)
Now in retrospect by the customer precisely to bring these holes and to find suitable standoffs, is already a lot of tinkering and unnecessarily time-consuming. -and is disproportionate for the set price.
Conclusion: In principle, well designed, not just professionally performed / presented and with potential for improvement.
