the newest gt2b printed enclousure is $25 just for the shell…i’ve seen completed mods for $100…
anyways heres a scaled print of the test. not yellow but the shape is pretty nice…
one of the nicest prints in a while!

Got some translucent yellow filiment, it reminds me of hi viz yellow! Its going to work well with the leds! which are also done.
just waiting on the buck/boost converters…
Do you have an IRL banana for scale?
I just fell over this a few days ago, maybe it is possible to use it. http://lifepo4wered.com/lifepo4wered-usb.html
@TheRedPanda just ate the last one i’ll get one for scale when i print the other half!
@flatsp0t those look really cool, i’ll keep them in mind. but I went with the mcp1700, it gives 3.3v at 250ma with input 2 - 6v So works perfect for a single li ion which are cheaper, come in more sizes, and have higher capacity.
and i can still drive all the leds on the liion directly, not sure if the rgbs would work on <3.5v…
The banana was too fat, but I will go back to it soon.
Here is the super mini I’ve been working on. printing now…
this is great work Man !!!
i’ve have a couple of mini remotes around,I was thinking on a mod for the enclosure but you are already way ahead of what i was thinking.
Are you thinking on sharing the stl files or going to sell the enclosure ?
Thanks! I’ve notice these remotes were getting popular and I’ve been using it since day one with no issues! Just annoyed it doesn’t fit in a pocket well…
i’m still not sure what i’m going to do, need to get this fully assembled and tested then i’ll see what the demand is like…
i’ll probably sell a few to help support this whole esk8 building habbit this version is also no just a plug and play mod, it requires some addtional parts…since its switching to rechargable!
Hello Saul, just wondering if there are any updates on this mod.
Thanks, Kevin
Haven’t had time to work on this for a bit, But i will finish it soon. switched to 18650, small battery version wasn’t small enough to be worth it.
If anyone has a 3d printer and would like to beta test an enclosure let me know!
I have a 3D printer! I also have a TB Mini remote that needs to be shrunk. I also have extra 18650 cells. Just don’t have a voltage regulator or lithium charger yet. Just send me the STLs
I still need to make some small changes and do a test print.
if you want to see the older version, its about a 4hr print. I couldn’t fit a decent size battery in this yet, so moved back to 18650…
Not ready for use – for cosmetic purposes only https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4_1KKUphqtDYm4wNzJqWHFFZGM
if you use a lifepo4 18650 you can get away without a regulator.
also I only recommend if you have a spare mini remote. I don’t think its ready for everyday use.
Let me know when the next version is done. I’ll print that.
ok, i’ll probably get back to it in a couple days… unless I get inspired
So there is an opening on one side of the remote?
Is it possible to make a shell design? All you have to do is create screw holes and then split the part in two.
yes its open side, with a screw on cover.
I started with halfs like gt2b…but i don’t really like the feel. and the seam…
Unibody design, with vertical print feels really nice! strong. lots of details…
it also helps to prototype this way instead of 2 2-3 hour prints you get 1 4 hour and 1 10 minute
Ahh okay. I didn’t have that part so I was not sure.
I’ll be waiting for that remote design I want to do some testing this weekend so if you could get it done before then, I might be able to actually test it while riding.
i’ll see what I can do! motor mount have taken most of my attention lately…
Yeah you’ve been busy I can tell! I almost forgot you designed those motor mounts as well. You must be a MechE?
Yea things have sort of snowballed… actually I studied cs, but physics hasn’t changed
All of my designs are written in openscad, geometric/logic based code.
