Pi3 backshell with air vents
thingiverse
I designed the original screen and backshell combo, but I suspect that the Pi or the 1000C overheated repeatedly, causing the Pi to reboot. The entire setup felt excessively warm, so I reworked the backshell with numerous air vents added to the design, which seems to have alleviated some of the problems. A major challenge for my build is that the Adafruit 1000C converter is insufficient to power a Pi3 B+ successfully, let alone both the Pi and the 7" display screen. Apparently, the 4 cores on the Pi3 B+ present a highly variable load to the 1000C, which cannot handle it effectively. Therefore, I'm looking for alternative solutions there.
