Help for battery pack for efoil

Hi,

I have prototype printed - but this picture show my intended final version.

  1. The battery setup - except geometry same way as ludwig_bre made his own in his video. I plan to add “last chance” 150A standard fuse inside.
  2. Top and bottom plate will be 1.5mm aluminium
  3. Everything else - PETG covered with resin (to be sure it is waterprooof )
  4. Top and bottom plate glued to PETG with marine silicone ( Sikaflex)
  5. All printed on my Prusa XL ( which has 350x350x350mm range). You can order the print in JLC , but it becomes expensive with that size
  6. Not really seen there - but there is extra pneumatic connector to test if the case is waterproof.

Wonderful. can you do it one for me?
mm. 350 x 305x80. ???

I am already 2 months behind schedule for mine, so I could not realistically deliver any promise. Just wanted to show you that while not simple, it is not that complicated either. But I understand that sometimes you just want to buy things, not build yourself.

with 350x350x350 you might be able to find suitable ready made box and do what ludwig_bre did for his own battery.

ok. I just need someone with a 3D print to do it.
I have already files in .step or .stl

do you anyone capable?

You actually do not need someone - there are several services even in EU
One of them - https://craftcloud3d.com/
My shell would be ~100EUR plus around 30EUR for aluminum sheets when sourced locally ( -80EUR in JLC for drilled and anodized version)

About point 6…should there not be a membrane instead (you can use that hole to waterproof-test it with an enema bulb btw;)
Battery warmth an/or environmental pressure differences need to be equalized between the box and outside. If not, significant pressure differences WILL un-waterproof your perfect airtight box.
In short: Box must be waterproof but NOT airtight.

The usual way
is something like this - I think I have seen it on my friends Lift battery

I use these patches. Before appying test with bulb for vacuum, then apply patch, done.
