ok. Well you have a deck with a drop, which adds to the wheelbite. But a good reference for my build.
why don’t you print the enclosure, very thinn layer, and then cover it in fiberglass/CF. this way it will print fast and you’ll get a strong enclosure

that’s exactly the plan. I am almost about to complete the 3D printed enclosure for the other build(105mm hub motor and bamboo deck), so I’ll work on it after that.

thats a good idea.
I even got some flexible epoxy for the glass fiber lamination.

So it’s finally complete. I have the following update:
- It’s nicely setup with DieBieMS with push to start. I made my own casing for the DieBieMS which is not the standard N.E.S.E case for the BMS. It is roomier for removing the balancing connector easily and also for routing the balance wires.
- The rear motor guard also acts as mount spacer.
- It’s pretty much sealed everywhere except where the wires enter. I plan to print a part in TPU(flexible) filament and pass all the cables through it. Sealing is done using a 3mm rubber sheet from amazon.
- The ppm receiver is all the way to the front so that there is little interference from the switching action going on in the back.
- Everything has been mounted to the board with some sort of vibration dampeners. The escs hang using rubber standoffs.
Pretty happy with it. Now I have to put grip on top. I have a transparent one. Should I use that or go with glass fritz for this deck?

, well duh! I wish I had done this earlier. My feet wouldn’t have suffered as much for the last 2 years.

wheelbite is not an issue right? Could you maybe send me the measurments from the drop? I want to recreate this with brackets.

Zero wheel bite. Well it was an hour worth of work.
I actually cut the deck on the corner to do it. Basically took a Dremel with a router bit and slowly cut while checking for bite. I would apply a bit of pain on the tires and then step on the deck and lean as much as possible with trucks pretty loose. Where the wheel touches it would leave the paint on the deck. I would then remove it. Doing this 3-4 times I have one corner completely free from wheel bite. To do this on the rest 3 corners I simply traced the new outline on a paper and then used that as a template to Mark the rest of the corners with a permanent marker. Then boom, rest 3 cut within 10 mins.
@Benjamin899, what measurements do you need?

X and y would be nice. Basicly how far is the mounting pattern away from the platform you stay on and how deep. I will use a bending maschine to bend some metall to recreate that drop

I have a 3d file of the deck. I can send you that.

well that is awesome. is it in your google folder?
I have removed all sharing for housekeeping. I’ll send you a link.
dude, i have a set of those wheels…how did you get them to fit that axel? did you change out bearings ?
It fits the tb218 trucks perfectly with two 3mm washers on each side of the wheel. A lot of people have been using this setup. Details here:
