The Easiest Way to Accessorize Your Plastic Enclosure This Season

March 19th, 2010

For our anniversary, my boyfriend took me to a nice dinner, gave me the same card I got him, a scented candle, and his cold. Waking up Monday morning with a wicked cough, I decided to get medicine. I needed bread and milk, and as long as I was going, I could top off my gas tank. Now the deli by my house sells its very own fresh baked bread which is to-die for, but I couldn’t get gasoline or cold meds there. So I stopped at a chain gas station that also sells all sorts of sundries. My one-stop-shop for everything I needed.

Your Genius Brings Polycase Innovations

March 16th, 2010

You know those new Microsoft commercials, where every day “ordinary” people are saying how Microsoft 7 was their idea? They’re starting to grow on me.

Get stuck in a one-on-one conversation and … well, quite a few members of my family have not quite learned the art of ending the story, even if they happen to notice that their audience is no longer, shall we say, captive.

Plastic Enclosures and Higher Temperature Options

March 1st, 2010

When last we left off, our poor design engineer had discovered that his ABS enclosure failed to take the heat inside the car. Here is a brief recap:

The melting point on ABS is approximately 176 degrees F (80 degrees C). This means that when exposed to temperatures near 176 degrees for extended periods of time, ABS material will begin to lose its shape. When ABS is exposed to hot enough temperatures, the material begins to degrade and soften; leave it long enough and you’ll have a cooked enclosure.
