Veiftech - DIY upgraded Leiftech V2

also known as copper beryllium (CuBe ), beryllium bronze and spring copper

spring copper, could have thought of that one

High Electrical Conductivity

Beryllium Copper Strip

  • The electrical conductivity of beryllium copper ranges from 16 to 65% IACS, depending on alloy and temper.
  • Beryllium copper is the material of choice for high current density springs requiring low heat generation, due to the alloy’s combination of high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and strength.

Duuuuude I’ve been looking for those files for 1 year and a half !! And I ended designing it myself ! And I’m part of this group for a while now
Jeez man

I do kinda remember knowing that people had made custom separate covers for the v2 I was only planning on modifying the stock ones but now I can print stuff to try out at least.

I was too lazy to take apart the v2 so I starstarted by getting the profile for this 83cm Freebord deck


hard to see but this is nearly there

Then I can try the 2-part case

How did you do that ? Trial and error or you have a technique ?

I wasted all that filament on the full print then realized I needed to tune in small sections, just trial and error to this point. Prob did about 7 revisions so far and it is close enough to work but not perfect.

Which side has the steeper concave? The heelside when riding regular?

uhh it’s a freebord so you can just switch the bindings around, but the edge/side of the deck with the freebord logo on it has the steeper so that makes sense to me.

Did you get it?

yep…

the final price after tax and shipping was almost $350 but the v2 cost me $400

I will investigate any differences besides the wheels and eventually get them both upgraded with freebord 5X parts. Getting a summerboard later will really complete this set.

I have this idea for a durable underboard battery that you could boardslide on.

did freebord agree to send you 5X? ive been trying to get them to sell me a set with no luck.

You didn’t really say much there but did you ask for only the 5-x trucks?

I ordered the board. Idk if you have seen the E-Caster project that I am mainlining.

If you read they said the truck will be available In the shop after launch.

it even has screws! prob should make the top plastic as well.

LEIFTECH V1 has arrived, and been taken to bits. It was nice to take one apart that was presumably assembled by aaron himself to see exactly how it was meant to be set up.

these screws with non lock nuts are on there very light and the black silicone prevents them coming off. Just prevents the PCB coming off the thermal pad, speaking of, check out that Jay-po level thermal management solution
