Beginners • Re: Off-gassing of Pi5?

If I had to guess, I'd say it was ABS.

If I had to search Google to find the answer I'd also say it was ABS.

Thanks for the welcome. And I also thought it was ABS but couldn't find anything in the searches etc.

I have the same set up.

I can't say that I've noticed it.

There could be all sorts of reasons why you get a headache after looking at a screen. I get that if I use the wrong spectacles.

Well I do know it is not due to screen use or using the wrong glasses. Happens really quick. But if your not and no one else is. Must be something else.

You might expect that a company the size of Raspberry Pi would have a 'Products' page.

Perhaps it would look like this -
https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/ra ... pi-5-case/

THANKS! I did search but not on Raspbery Pi's store page. Figures the one place I didn't look.... Thought it was ABS. Never had a problem with that before which makes me wonder if it could be the thermal pads on the active cooler. Though I haven't had a problem with thermal pads before that I know of. If I remember right they are silicone thermal pads, unless something different about them? Are there different types?

It's lucky there are people here who know how to search the web and are willing to help. Do you know someone who could diagnose medical issues, such as headaches?
