Can anyone confirm whether WiFi/Bluetooth radios are affected by installing in an all metal case?

Hi, The metal / aluminum case will definitely have a certain impact on wireless / bluetooth, and we found that the level of interference is also related to the individual Raspberry Pi. If your Raspberry Pi is usually subject to a lot of interference, it is recommended to use an ABS case or wired Ethernet to be more stable. Regards, Geekworm

I need to put 4 rpis in a case. is there any way to screw/secure these down to a base plate? a glue that will withstand the heat? drill through? ta

I’ve used heavy duty Velcro to attach mine to my 3D printer and the back it the TV this has worked without issue for months.

Whats the difference between the various p models? e.g. p173 vs p2332 etc

Hi, 1. P173, P273, P232 are all compatible for Raspberry Pi 4 8GB/4GB/2GB, and the compatible interface functions are also the same. P252 is compatible for Raspberry Pi 3B+/3B. 2. Let's talk about P173, P273, P232 P173 and P273 are the same, but the colors are different. P173 is black and P273 is silver. P232 is different from the two of them in appearance, and the weight is about 30g lighter than them. Regards, Geekworm

Can you use thermal paste instead of thermal pads ?? thanks.

Hi there, Yes, you can replace the thermal pad with copper sheet(thickness is about 0.1-0.2cm), and then use thermal grease, in this case the heat dissipation effect will be much better. Regards, Geekworm Team
