Keeping things from moving around inside the enclosure
I use the GE Silicone 2* neutral cure silicone from the paint section at your local big box home improvement store in the USA. (The smaller squeeze tube size)
No
Yes, because it doesn’t permanently compress for the most part
Kind of
Yes, RTV silicone to keep it from rattling and moving around
Can i just put a ton of it under the battery pack? So everything is dampened nicely? Or just a little bit + other dampening material.
Also, I’m in Norway, so we don’t have this silicone here. I’m sure there is a equivalent, but haven’t found yet. Can you link me to a ebay or amazon to this silicone? I’m gonna use it for my next iteration of the “sport model”
I don’t use silicone for that, but I don’t know if others do. I usually set the battery on a thin piece of closed-cell foam, and use silicone for forward-backward and side-side damping.
This is, of course, assuming you aren’t trying to stick a battery that’s too thick into the enclosure, designed for a smaller battery, which is worth mentioning because it appears to be common. (I don’t recommend that)
Quality adhesive hook and loop - preferred for larger items like BMS, ESC if not bolting down w/heatsink
Dual lock/Mushroom tape 250 - preferred for smaller things like remote receiver, Bluetooth modules
Light duty adhesive hook & loop - preferred for battery packs. Enough to keep the pack in place, but easy enough to pull apart you aren’t straining/using unnecessary force on the pack to do so. Either of these work
This is essentially bulk 3m VHB - the thickness is perfect for padding against ESK8 vibration. Preferred to the very thin stuff imo. I’m not a fan of tape for securing ESK8, but if I did/the few times I do, this is my choice.
I often run a very tiny bead of superglue along the edges of the Velcro I put on to resist peeling.
I like this too. I use a line layer of adhesive backed EVA foam over the entire inside and flange.
One thing that i would like to achieve is some decent 3d modelling skills so that i could design a harness for all the other components.
This would involve carefully plotting out the entire guts and then designing a single/multiple pieces to 3d print that would be permanently glued in and would allow me to either clip components in or at least be able to bolt/screw them down.
Not a fan at all of gluing components in. Done it too many times and it fucking sucks for maintenance.
