I’ll keep it straight with you. I think we all do that once in a while. But the most traffic they’ve had over there has been us going over to diss him.
As much as he likes to pretend he’s separated himself from it, he took the creation of this forum very personally. And my belief as to why he dislikes us (aside from the obvious competition) is that we’re not brand/advertiser friendly.
I think we’re going to see some changes to .builders due to ownership, and suddenly family-friendlyness will be much more important instead of innovation and esk8.

Oh yeah, silly me. How could I forget the herringbones 
Glad you’re still here. Looking forward to see what crazy thing you put out next.

Still here! I understand the worry, after the boom unfrotunately DIY Esk8 is getting even more for a niche only 
More and more are moving to prebuilt boards or escooter/ebike. At least that is the feel I have.

I think you’re right. It’s still quite cost prohibitive, so really only us who were dropped on our head as children and those of us with balls the size of Oklahoma stay for DIY. But it’s been that way for a looonngg time.
If anything, im just more concerned about our members and their health during this time. Dont know who’s getting affected by what

I wonder if there’s a little fuse in-between the battery port and the display 
Seems like the perfect spot / enough room

Much tidier than mine. The meter I got was super thick. The panel mount is a nice touch. Hope it’s on thingiverse.

Its the second version I’ve done. Honestly, I am not completely happy with it. I like the form factor but the voltmeter is not great as the switch is in the back, so no easy method of changing the series value or changing from capacity to voltage.
I’m still working on it to see if I can integrate a button into the model, but its gonna be difficult considering the vast range of voltmeters out there.
If your interested, I used this voltmeter…

Do you think it would be possible to use this one just without a 3D printed case?

No worries, happy to help. I have some new voltmeters coming from china that may be a better solution, have to wait and see.
