haha, impressive that the software is so capable. Will give the Agisoft one a go then

That’s golden into there, thanks!
What type of files are output by the software? And how do you determine the size to be 1:1?
Does a regular smartphone camera works or you’re using something fancy like iPad pro’s LIDAR?

I did this process on this build
It took a long time. The parts I had trouble with were mostly the parts that reflected the most. Aka blown highlights in the photos. If you get nice even lighting, that will help a lot

OBJ, can be used by almost anything.
That part was pretty hard for me. I messed up by 0.5cm to be honest. I measured the deck width IRL and then adjusted the world scale in blender so that the same distance measured with the blender measuring tool would be about the same. Probably this can be done better and with some sort of markers on the board placed beforehand at a specific distance.
damn, I completely forgot that my initial motivation was to actually use LIDAR for this! But it didn’t work as well on the first few tries, the model was bad. So I just used my phone and took some shots of the deck and did the photogammetry instead. A friend also did the same using his phone for his deck. I think he wrapped his deck in some black shrinktape, that worked for him. For my deck I didnt have any trouble generating the model, maybe because of the artwork giving the algorithm enough of reference points. If your deck is reflective or very simple you can try covering it in stickers or dark duct tape lines.
this tutorial is pretty simple and the settings worked for me. Beware, some GPUs can’t run the algorithm properly, like some laptops or old GPUs. My 970GTX did it just fine.

This is exactly what I did too

Alrighty lads, I’ve finally uploaded my enclosure that I used to produce the @Eskdiy kit build
Let me know if you have any questions

Wow that guy with the TPU filament shout is genius. I’m totally stealing that.

What’s fully is I had this idea then forgot all about it.
Anyone 3-D printing in NYC I need a battery enclosure and ESC.

I’m no expert but I’d recommend adding a large fillet at the crease where the vertical walls of the enclosure transition to the flat wings. That should significantly increase the strength of that section.

I just added an Haero Bro enclosure I modified for a Stormcore/Radium combo to thingiverse.

Anyone ever printed an enclosure with incorporated air cooling routing/vents of any kind?
Apart from making custom cnc cooling plate that is glued in enclosure no. If you have cooling plate there is no need for additional cooling really. Your motors will get hotter way faster than ESC itself. And even if esc overheats, just add more cooling fins (surface area) and that should do the trick.
Has anyone been designing/making 3D printed enclosures recently?
I have, will be selling actively soonish. Have a couple units out there on beta tester boards

Pics would be great. Is your enclosure universal or specifically designed a particular deck?
Given a waterborne rail adapter there is an oppurtunity to create a quick swap case released by kingpins…
I planned on making and selling these i have since not followed through happy to share files.

It’s universal for top mount boards. I’m not ready to share in this thread yet but you can look on Instagram for some pics
