The aluminium case is really neat for when using the Pitaya as a lab tool which you handle and move around

a lot but due to the very thick thermal pad it does not offer sufficient cooling for a constant high load,

like in a skimmer application. Particularly for the 122.88-16 which produces more heat than the 125-14.

I use small fans on my 122.88-16, fixed directly to the heatsink. M3 screws actually fit quite nicely between

the fingers of the heatsink. I use a series resistor to keep them quiet. But the plastic cover of course provides

more mechanical protection. https://sm7iun.se/redpitaya/sm7iun-skimmer/

I use the aluminium case for my 125-14 which is mostly used as a lab instrument.

It doesn't appear that the aluminum case for the Red Pitaya is still available. Is the plastic case available and does it cause interference to the unit or to other receivers close by?

Anyone have a spare RP 125-14 in the aluminum case that still meets specs and that they have replaced with the 16 receiver unit? If you want to sell it email me off the reflector.
