It's funny cause I always kinda thought that was a bit of hyperbole regarding uv exposure.
Made a bracket to fix a broken mount for our back seat cam in our car. Printed in pla just to test the dimensions. It worked so I left it in the car. Didn't make it a single day. Completely warped.
Reprinted in petg and it's been going strong for 2 weeks now.
Wouldn't heat be the main problem in a car? On a sunny hot day a car can get up 130+ easy, add in the heating from the sun actually hitting the print and it's not hard to imagine it could get warm enough to become a little malleable.
Definitely heat - pretty much all windshields/windows nowadays block UV, otherwise the dash/seats/etc. would also get wrecked way quicker than they do, not to mention drivers getting sunburn even with the windows up.
in a car? during summer? Ngl that sounds more like a temperature issue than a UV one. PLA doesn't degrade that quickly and it can get pretty hot inside a car during the summer
It is a separate stand from the TV.
It us this stand "Alterzone ALZTV45-65-3LB", it can be a bit hard to get your TV on it, but other than that I have zero complaints.
I mentioned previously that it might be 3DE PLA, but it could also be galaxy black PLA from Prusa. I think that is the most likely, it has a very faint sparkle in it.
The heat mainly comes out of the top, so far it has not been a problem. But all the concerns have made me want to print a new revision in a more durable filament.
Thank you for the compliment, I really like it too.

Looks great! I much prefer seeing these custom prints rather than stuff downloaded from the internet

Every stl started as someone's custom print

Obligatory I hope that’s not pla yadda yadda

1.5 years going strong, but I soon have a revision worthy of a new print.

Hmm the car is parked in the garage so I just kind of assumed it was the UV during driving but yea I guess it must have been the heat.
PeachMan@lemmy.one · 3 pts · 3y
Yep. I was under the impression that UV radiation causes PLA to get brittle over time. But heat causes it to warp very quickly.

Wow, this looks great and it's a neat idea as well. I like it!

Thank you 😊 It really just disappears behind the TV.
Corgerus@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y
Are there vents for the bottom of the console?
Bluetooth@feddit.dk · 3 pts · 3y
There is, yes. https://imgur.com/a/MLtbxvs

That's good design 👍

Does it impact the connection to the controller at all?
Bluetooth@feddit.dk · 2 pts · 3y
Not at all, I have had no issues at all with it.
rambos@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Might be diferent, but my ps4 controller can work from next room
dom@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 3y
I doubt it would in a typical living room.
I have a snes mini and a Bluetooth adapter behind my TV and I have no issues

What tv/stand is that? Is it on a stand, or are the legs part of the tv?

I'm using a One For All Falcon 32 to hold my PS5 and Apple TV, but from the photo I don't think a Series X would fit.

Are you concerned at all of the exhaust heat coming out with PLA's low melting point? Your design looks killer! Nice job!

Do you happen to know what filament was used?
Bluetooth@feddit.dk · 3 pts · 3y
I think it was 3DE PLA filament, seems very sturdy, but minor warping on a piece that got direct sunlight.
MaxVoltage@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Those legs on that 👌
