filipandre · June 28, 2020, 3:27pm

Im going to build a 12s6p with the P42A cells aswell, whats the size of that pack? I orderd a chockproof box but dont know if it will fit.

I just got 10m of legit nickel here at Steel City Store:

I can’t find the listing for the 1kg amount, I found it for other sizes though (I just ordered 1kg of 30mmx .2mm ), you may have to PM for the deal, but this seller is terrible at responding.

I have gotten good nickel twice here now, waiting on the third order.

Thanks, I got spoiled by fogstar and their 1gbp per m price, now everything seems expensive…

Should have bought 100m off them haha

iamasalmon · June 28, 2020, 4:35pm

I am almost certain that was a mistake, I have never seen it so cheap. That is like scrap value of nickel
I bought way more than I needed off a fogstar because of this. Then they ran out pretty quick. lol

It’s still a pretty good deal from them. I recently ordered and it came in less then a week

7 different kinds of nickel and all pure

from the ali seller?

i like to buy my nickel in bigger quanitites, a kilo should be up to around 40-50$ hopefully he is willing to sell like that

First welds I’ve ever done, gimme the low down and dirty folks—how these lookin?

ZachTetra · June 28, 2020, 8:22pm

I think a little hot? But not unreasonable for sure

P.s. you gonna leave those hot terminals bare?

whaddys · June 28, 2020, 8:27pm

you refering to the negative terminals here? Should I rewrap them so the negative is more covered?

ShutterShock · June 28, 2020, 8:29pm

I think? he might be talking about the Kweld

ZachTetra · June 28, 2020, 8:31pm

Lol the kWeld…you got 12V about an inch apart, drop something on it and you might be in trouble

ShutterShock · June 28, 2020, 8:36pm

My top case is printing for mine right now, it made me nervous using it open too haha

ZachTetra · June 28, 2020, 8:37pm

I have a piece of heat shrink but it’s ugly as sin

ShutterShock · June 28, 2020, 8:39pm

Oh lord lol

whaddys · June 28, 2020, 8:53pm

oh yeah, totally I need a case printed for mine–I don’t have a 3D printer so if anyone wants to go through the trouble I will compensate them for filament, time and shipping =)

can I see a photo??
