Z batteriez look very nize. Eggzellent azzembly work.
Can’t wait to get it!
these joints are fkin amazing i must say
I think we need a thread dedicated to printed battery cell frames CAD download designs and discussion.
my ender 3 always was making prints far too shitty to use for those cell frames, hoping the resin printer works perfect for this!
I designed them, and they are so tight that some cells fit perfect and some cells get a little bit of a scrunch in the wrap… they definitely don’t come loose unless you break the holders.
Printhead pathing makes a huge difference. When it went straight through the gaps, I got less stringing than setting it to avoid crossing the gaps… it’s weird.
@JoeyZ5 you are doing some beautiful work mate, but can I offer one constructive criticism?
In my experience, its best to make pieces like this a bit longer. Over such a short length of wire, it’s very easy for the solder to wick far enough into it to make the whole piece pretty much solid.
That said, your batteries are a pleasure to behold. It’s obvious that you love what you do. Keep up the good work dude!
I had some of those short ones go completely stiff so I replaced them. I will definitely make them a bit longer in the future though. Thanks for the feedback!
Looks awesome.
Curious, because I’m going to build into an Evo Spectrum…
Charge port is in the front? Could you possibly provide some info on that?
The customer already had a charge port installed in the front of the enclosure. Putting the small Daly at the front on the angled part gives you more space in the back for the ESC.
Finally got my battery installed in my board yesterday BTW. It’s working great.
Excellent. Good to know. I will try laying it out that way, thank you! I always appreciate your information sharing.
Mind you it won’t be a lot of space, it’s a tight AF fit, but it works.
Take any pics of the insides?
In hindsight, probably should have but didn’t.
Open her back up and get some photos for the Gram, yo.
I would, but the enclosure is sealed with silicone and I rather not have to cut it all off and reapply after.
I’ll take pictures when I get the Freesk8 Dong and install the receiver.
Just curious what are you using to be able to have a push button or does the esc have built in antispark? Not sure what that visible pcb is in post #13 with the through hole xt90s maybe an antispark in there? Thanks and beautiful work brew!
I can see a balance port and maybe a UART comm port which tells the esc its connected to a future motion battery (vendor locking bs)
The post you replied to is a Funwheel battery, and those ESC’s (Cheap FOCer) have a power button that turns off the control electronics to save power.
For post 13, that is a Onewheel BMS which has discharge mosfets for on/off. Notice the backwards wired XT60…
