Case/Material to Protect Raspberry Pi 3b and Zero in hostile environment

skeevestevens
skeevestevens over 7 years ago

Hi all,

 

I'm working on a project at the moment where the Raspberry Pi 3b and Zero (both in the same box doing different functions) are in a hostile environment.

 

The best example would be... imagine it was attached to a small shipping container where it is constantly picked up by a forklift, put down violently, dropped, banged into, etc.

 

There are a lot of variables, but the only one I am worried about at the moment is the Pi's themselves in the box that will be attached.

 

What is the best way to mount them, or material to surround them with that would best protect them from being destroyed quickly?

 

Thanks for the help guys.

    Polycarbonate, cast acrylic, PETE, ABS, or similar materials are good choices for enclosures.

    With proper tools anything can be constructed from design.

    Element 14 has a large selection of enclosures and custom  services as well.
