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

    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.
