My dash cam was a commercial ABS (?) camera and the case died fairly quickly, didn't last the summer. I just warped around the internals so that the controls wouldn't work. The new one I remove as soon as I park up for any longer than 10mins. At least they be cheap enough to replace for now  :doh:

Joules:
I don't think black is the ideal colour for a dash cam.  You might notice the mount I designed was to get the camera under the roof lining to offer it some protection from direct sun.  Ours is a cheap Aldi camera and works surprising well, once I cracked it open and refocused the lens.

Pete49:
 I agree black is not the best colour but all the manufacturers seem to think so. Interesting fix Joules and I will see if I can get away with that idea. Ideally a case in white or a reflective colour would be the best option I think. I had to remove the camera even though its winter as I noticed the case starting to curl  :Doh:

Joules:
Hasn't time flown, the battery in the sensor packed up so needed a replacement.  It's almost a year to the day that this went up, it's dealt with the UK weather, some discolouration on top, no delamination of the print.  It's now back on its post for another year of operation, pretty conclusive evidence that PLA is suitable for outdoor use in the UK at least.

Noitoen:
You could print a clip on replacement cover.
