ESCape only dual enclosure

So any news, about this awesome dual enclosure for the Escape`s ??

LukePL · March 27, 2018, 5:39pm

Tomorrow first couple are going to be produced I’ll post pictures and let you know about price. I’ll also check black anodizing.

Looking forward… i`m ready

LukePL · March 28, 2018, 6:19pm

Work in progress

That looks awesome! What are the dimensions of it?

LukePL · March 28, 2018, 9:04pm

First ones are done. Still some tweaks to be done but overall it’s great!

Looking real nice - I’m watching closely as I may just be in the market for a dual case for my ESCapes.

Silverline · March 28, 2018, 9:33pm

Looking awesome. How is the top plate going to look like, and what material ?

LukePL · March 28, 2018, 9:39pm

This is a prototype. Final version should be black as the enclosure.

deltazeta · March 28, 2018, 9:42pm

this is probably the same for this enclosure right?

Silverline · March 28, 2018, 9:44pm

Sick, simply just sick… i`m in love and wanna buy

Are the dimensions for the alu piece final? I`m designing a simple enclosure for my trampa, where i want to use this nice dual housing for my Escapes … So i need the dimensions for the cutout i need to make in the top plate

LukePL · March 28, 2018, 9:44pm

Yeah, B-Box will fit as they are based on @stewii PCB if that is what you are asking.

deltazeta · March 28, 2018, 9:45pm

oh sorry, i meant will we need some kind of nonelectrically conductive, but thermally conductive material between the box and the fets?

LukePL · March 28, 2018, 9:46pm

I’ll post drawing with measurements tomorrow and price as soon as I got info regarding anodizing.

LukePL · March 28, 2018, 9:48pm

yes, it’s something like this

bevilacqua · March 29, 2018, 6:39am

as long as you use thermal paste or th. pads that are not electrically conductive it should work. Focbox heatsinks are all alu. and they use a big thick silicone pad. You only have to make sure that the fets don’t touch the heatsink.

GrecoMan · March 29, 2018, 12:13pm

do you use mach 3 for controlling the cnc?

LukePL · March 29, 2018, 12:15pm

Thermal conductive silicone pads are the answer. There are also a lot of exposed parts like connector pins under the esc. Every electronics in aluminium enclosure has to be placed with a lot of thinking to avoid short circuit.

LukePL · March 29, 2018, 12:16pm

For this one we used Cam that is in Fusion and exported using post processor to gcode.

GrecoMan · March 29, 2018, 12:20pm

lol. you still need a place to put the g code once you make it, what CNC CONTROL SOFTWARE (not CAM) do you use ?
