I got a build kit for raspberry pi from china, and the 3d printed case it came with was warped due to heat inside the package being in sunlight probably. Can I fix it with hot water or a hairdryer?

No anon, you'll end up making mustard gas.

This, you need to cool it down to reverse the damage. A few days in the freezer might be good, don't overdue it or it might go back to filament.

What the fuck happened to the prices? I bought mine years ago for 30€ how the fuck is this shit so expensive? Shoulda invested in this shit instead of shitcoins.

I guess at this point I could trade my pi with its 3mm thick stainless steel case for a fucking car.

That's... why the price is high.
Chip shortage started it, scalpers keep it going. Someday it'll lose it's scarcity and scalpers will have a beanie baby load of raspberry pi's in their garage. Right next to the pallets of .22 ammo.

Yeah but it will always look like crap. Just buy a real plastic case on ebay or amazon for like $10 and don't worry about it. 3D printed stuff looks like shit anyway.
