This video was easy to find online 1st attempt so far but i bet you'd be busy building these cases full time if you wanted to. I bought a Dual suspension bike and just yesterday ordered hub motor kit and a block of batteries 60v 25ah 18 pounds but want to fill the triangle also. The 18 pound battery block is temporarily going on a rear cargo rack for now. Cut alot of wood dowels to battery sizes to mock up. Get paid and after receiving their template make box and ship. I could finsh and mount it. These look BEST got to get this done i am vain gotta be looking sharp and weight balanced. Looking forward to part 2 good job so far. Nevada, USA. I just watched your 1st video and thought it'd be cool to add a custom fit box along the top rail also for the accessories, cellphone.. storage..less vibration centerd weight balanced better handling. Id buy it ✓>. Also make a radiator shroud that directs air to pass on both sides to cool and keep shaded keep sun of it. Im little worried how these hot summers here in Nevada will affect working temps.
Hi mate, thanks for your thoughts. I am currently "passively" building two boxes for the guys in the UK. It is a bit complex project when I do not have the actual bike frame next to me and takes a lot of trial/error=time. I doubt I would find enough customers willing to pay me enough to do it as a full time job. There are also some other issues in EU - like I would have to provide 2 years of warranty for the packs if I build them as well. We know that single user error can ruin the pack and it might be difficult to prove whos fault was it.. If I need to take them back for repairs and ship them back again, I will earn way less than in my day job.... and let's be honest - some people will abuse it at the end of the warranty period.. These are basically the reasons to not doing it. The solution is to only build the boxes. I can design the ones on top etc. Solving temperature issues can be done with choosing ABS instead of PLA and there is a range of other plastics that can take a lot of heat...
@@lion555ify ammm :D Some day, I do not know specifically what to put in the part 2. The pack works super well, it is not overheating even during mid-summer heat (I added enough nickel). Probably should have added on/off button. The only downside I see now is that this battery is quite heavy and so is my bike :)
I am not sure regarding the filament, but most likely it was the Filament PM black PLA (I used it a lot as it has a great flow, therefore, no layer separation and good print speed). Spot welder was a tiny one of these: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004573427677.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.5.2e0820ac74RdGj&algo_pvid=c2cfb1c8-b972-4f60-8e79-69f88b8c16c6&algo_exp_id=c2cfb1c8-b972-4f60-8e79-69f88b8c16c6-2&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000029678056118%22%7D&pdp_npi=3%40dis%21EUR%2150.21%2129.12%21%21%21%21%21%40210219c216777638510746464d06e5%2112000029678056118%21sea%21DK%211890551204&curPageLogUid=VeRtTQSBq7Ac I will film the second part, but I do not know when yet
it depends mate. The print itself is less of a problem, the custom design takes a lot of time. Anywhere between 50-200 eur I would say, depending how much you want to do @@authentic4225
if you make a small weather seal or just use the sealand and propper grommets for cables it will be waterproof for all sorts of splashing. Maybe don't ride underwater though :D Have fun tinkering :)
Have you been using dielectric grease to stop any water getting to exposed circuits? I’m not sure how you’d implement it because I don’t know how often you’d remove the battery cover. I bought a hailong battery online rather than use my own, but for my connections for the Bafang motor: After connecting two wires (brake wires, battery wires, any wires that are sitting out in the open) I placed dielectric grease over the closed connection. It does not conduct electricity and is hydrophobic so that water will not cross it. Then I round over it and the wires underneath with electrical tape until it’s fully sealed. Electric tape might be enough to stop any water ingress, but Incase anything does get through the dielectric grease will be the last line of defence so to speak. I’m sure that could be implemented within the battery somehow. Personally, I had a similar idea to yours of 3D printing a battery case for my ebike but just took the easy route (I know you probably can’t fit a hailong battery into the triangle as you have the rear suspension in the way). If I were to have a full suspension bike and needed to build my own battery I would make it easily removable somehow. Probably with a slide in connection point on the bottom, like a hailong battery, then screwing it into place with fixed points that remain on the bike (3D printed anchor points?). Or a slide in connector again, but 2/3 key lock points that would keep it in place. (My main worry is being able to take the battery out and charge it elsewhere as you can guess.)
I made a groove for a TPU gasket and (forgot to print the gasket itself). I hope the gasket will be good enough to stop The water 🙄 grease is a good idea though! I see your concern. My garage is on the ground floor, therefore, I am happy I do not have to worry about taking it off :)) making things “easy to take off” but “sturdy to stay during the ride” is a hard engineering challenge :)
Amm :D it needs to, but I need to do it as it does not happen by itself. But I have a scooter I am testing and then one more ebike and I am wing-foiling a lot, and I have a little boat to take care of… so it will probably take some more time
Time will show, but I highly doubt it will. For this to happen there must be quite some force trying to "get out of the pack" as it is printed "laying on the side". And the stripes are also holding it together
@@korsez I will update. We don't have too hot summers here, I would think the box could deform somewhere in Spain. But then it is possible to print it in ABS with no big problems
I am in a process of making one, also I am travelling now so I do not know what to answer mate. At the very end of the video you can see my email, send me a mesage of what are you looking for
Awesome design! I'm planning something similar, maybe with bigger cells and controller on the outside. Oh, nice cap by the way. Greetings from Ukraine :)
@@VRMinde Heroyam Slava! Will there be a part two? Looking forward to it, I'm still making plans in my head, to make least invasive/destructive mount on my frame (like not drilling alumminum)
@@AntonKoba There will probably be, one day, but I am currently busy ant not riding this bike, so it might take some time... There are probably different (better?) motors these days already, I lost track a bit of the market as I was not looking up anything in that direction recently
I could make it if you are willing to pay, but thre is a little issue: - It is hard to make a case without being next to a bike, so I can take many measurements, make little prototype and then adjust etc. I am not sure how to take all those measurements to avoid issues later
It depends what kimd of pack you are building mate. You can always design 2 smaller parts and join them. I printed on Anycubic Chiron, I think it is 45x45 if not mistaking 🙄 it barely fit :)

Excellent work.
Small suggestion: Cover those 3d printed parts with Carbon Fiber and Epoxyd it would look much better.
That is a good idea mate, I might do it when I will know this is a “final design” :) thanks!

Depends how much do you want to pay :) I am a bit busy now…
Does this battery compartment cracks over time on the lines where layers are fused?
