Hi, your design totally blocks wifi signal.

You should make an opening just over the antenna.

Thanks for pointing out this common issue with metal-cased products – you’re absolutely right.

Metal enclosures significantly weaken the Wi-Fi signal underneath, as they’re designed for optimal heat dissipation and EM shielding. This is a natural physical property, a common challenge for similar products in the industry.

For stable, high-speed network access, we highly recommend using a Gigabit Ethernet wired connection.

Bonjour, Quelle est la différence de performance entre le P122-B et P252. Lequel privilégier si la température extérieur peux atteindre les 40°C ou ce type de boitier est à déconseiller?

Merci

Hello,The P252 is a fully enclosed case, a bit heavier than the P122-B, but the materials are the same. Both can meet the RPi3's cooling needs.

Using P252 for a portable Pi 3B project. Great design! Long term think about optional dust plugs for unused ports (RJ-45, USB, audio, HDMI). Port for microSD can be covered with quality adhesive rubber or electrical tape.

All four screws are the same length, though they should not be as the ones toward the middle of the case stand proud.

I have a 3B. In the kit I received there are 6 pads that are all 13mm square and one that is 8mm square. The large ones are 2x2mm 2x1.5mm and 2x.5mm. I assume one of the large ones goes in location 3. Should the 2mm pad go on the CPU on top and the 1.5mm go om the bottom, or the other way around?

Hello, there is an installation guide on the WIKI, which indicates the installation position of each thermal pad, you can take a closer look first

Geekworm needs to update the packing list and assembly. The kit I just received had 2X 2.0mm thermal pads, 2X 1.5mm, 2X 1.0mm, and 2X 0.5mm. Also, all four screws were the same length.

Fits great, but metal lug for IC4 on the 3B+ model is off centre, but still contacts 40% of it. Happy.

Very well designed case. I was quite surprised there was access to all rpi3 peripherals including PiCam ribbon. This was not apparent from the Aliexpress images and I was regretting that I should have gone with more common passive cooled cases. However this turns outs o be streets ahead with being fully enclosed yet access to everything. The thermal pads confused me a bit, as I hadn't read this web page then.

Any performance difference between this and P122-B ?

I wanted P122-B but it's always out of stock in my languages stores.

Are the thermal pads required on Pi 2B? The diams only seem to apply to Pi 3 models

For Pi 2B, please refer to the usage of Pi 3B thermal pad.

I have a Raspberry Pi Model B+ V1.2 copyright 2014. Would this case fit that motherboard?

It would be nice to show which holes get the longer screws.

Hello，The long screw is used on the side of the GPIO interface. Thanks for your suggestion, we will consider updating the installation instructions.

Best regards
