PETG becomes soft at around 85°C, which is also the throttle threshold of most ESCs. But yeah, you could run into very slight deformation in the summer.

Haha yep. It took a while to get it dialed and a fair amount of technical support from @Scepterr and the lads in the 3dp group on telegram, but pretty happy with where its at!

Man those balance wires look like an old school PCB with the big swoopy traces. Looks nice, no sharp angles or kinks in the wire

Ahh……the “good old days” of laying out the traces with Bishop tape and photo etching the boards in a tray in the bathtub. I miss them not! :grin:

Prusaslicer, cheap generic petg

Concentric support roof, solid bottom layer, hexagon support structure and 150% gap from walls i think are the key changes I made.
