Heatshrink sizing [SRO]

Yes exactly; quantity is number of meters. All in one roll, one piece.

And if you’re in the USA, it takes SO LONG to arrive :sweat:

Watch the shipping prices as you increase roll size though, there’s often a “cliff” after you pass a certain amount where shipping costs skyrocket. Sometimes better to put in two smaller orders.

For me, from meter 5 to meter 6 shipping skyrockets from $18.47 to $42.84 so I’d order in max 5 meter packages.

Yep, measured with a random bit of wire and multiply 1.2X and round down

Yep, heat shrink is on my list of stuff to stock ASAP :slight_smile: be on the lookout for a poll to determine popular sizes in my vendor thread soon.

Prob just PVC tho right? or at least get the size for single stack 18650/21700 dri kits with the Polyolefin Heat Shrink pls

skip PVC LoL

Also, clear is good. You can’t fix or troubleshoot problems you can’t see.

I prefer to just do things by feel. If it is sharp or super hot no good go out and buy an evolve.

They don’t seems to stock the good stuff over 200mm, maybe it is a limitation of the machine they use for that material or someshit

china.com oh what say you

hmm a lot of chinese it seems

I bought mine 10kilo at a time.

I asked the factory to show me how it’s made. Pretty interesting

I would love to also stock polyolefin. Just gotta compare the options. PVC is good for 90% of batteries, its just a pain in the dick when you apply too much heat and it splits or tears.

Hmm, I have never seen clear polyolefin heat shrink. Links?

Me dumb, didnt read thread.

I use 220mm because it works for both the 21700 and 18650 KitPCB’s. 200mm works for the 18650 KitPCB’s.
