@ShutterShock but how many amps can that 3d printed stormcore handle tho?

If those voltages are even accurate. Sometimes those are “recommended maximum operating voltage” and sometimes they are “component rated voltage” and, in general, trusting specifications from folks profiting from a sale is unfortunately often a folly.
How strong are these? Ok for a street build with a 100kg alien on top?
I’m in love with them.

What do you charge for these?
So @Ricco, if I’m getting this right, the bullets were compressed too much and not making proper contact thus causing the abs fault?

In my experience they work themselves loose over time. Constant vibrations are concentrated at the fixed point. This has happened to nearly every panel mounted board i’ve done.
If you can make it so the wires have absolutely no room to vibrate/flex/move coming up to the panel mount, you would likely negate this from happening.
I hate panel mounts

I’ve experienced more reliability from panel mounts personally. But I also do clamp the wires to the deck about ~4cm after the connector. So maybe that is a big factor? IDK.

ok but, what’s the better alternative? grommets and glands?
panel mounts do look really nice…
The term ‘better’ is subjective to the operator.
I’ve been running my phases out between enclosure and deck with EVA foam as a gasket and connecting to motors in line outside of the enclosure. Working for me so far.

“Better” to me means more reliable. Cost or hassle be damned.
Doing what Al said, for me, is a disaster because it’s nigh impossible to fully waterproof while still being servicable.

This setup had about 250kms on it when i opened. Not a speck of dust inside, but can’t speak for water.
very interesting, as I just printed up some MR60 panel mounts that I plan to use with Weipu SF8 6P connectors to have waterproofed, serviceable disconnects so I don’t have to stretch motor wires to work in the enclosure.

The only instance of panel mounted connectors that have stood the test of time for one of my builds was on the kaly I built for a local dude
This build has probably well over 2000km on it by now with no issues at the panel mounts.
The 3d printed bracket things work really well, but they’re definitely bulky. Plus they’re not water proofed in any way. I’d trust my foam gasket over this solution for waterproofness
