Too flimsy for my taste to add to my shop but it works. Needs a vice to get it closed effortless. Good outcome is that it flexes length wise. So its probably thinest module ever unless you hammer down a cell to oval
like it, want it maybe enough to reprint, share and care? It is Christmas after all, my guess is 20mm height with lid in which case HAYA can do
NOOOO! Its 17mm in height you will need to hamer down your cells to make them that Cell height is what you get so 18mm
Sure will share if interested.
Tardis? Wait it’s smaller then the cell radius, oof you clever man
Nice way of reducing wasted space! I like it. Would making the v-slots solid help with rigidity?
No. The cutouts where cells protrude make it flex. I know it might sound like a waist of space. But i have tested various thicknesses to have as little material as i need to to make it rigid enough for assembly and protection.
You can make it rigid with exotic materials but those cost 300-500usd per 0.5kg and require special printers to print which are very expensive too. So this is a compromise made so anyone could print them, they are safe and easy to assemble.

What offer?
Winter offer with 15% off
More common way of wiring PCM’s balancing port(s), like bestechpower.
why switch between the negative and postive terminal?
it does not matter to which screw you tighten the balance cable, they both are literally the same spot as far as the BMS can tell
Was quicker to cad and have them inline. I think this is basic stuff electrically and all should know that it is the same where on conductor you place your connection, it will get connected
I made a new enclosure for DieBieMS. It is a bit wider(5mm) than the standard NESE box and I have moved a few things around to attach the balance connectors while BMS is already mounted in place. It has more space for routing the balance wires and restricts them in a channel. The copper tabs are very easy to DIY now. Only one 90 degree bend.

Such a beauty!
So, i want to be grumpy I had flames thrown at me for making some statements. Don’t want to tag Winfly here as i don’t want to put him off of hes development endeavour. Will quote hes first post: 1. Cost _ * It’s kind of expensive. €103.35 for a 10s4p module to ship to the US_ 2. Size _ * it got that extended part for screws terminals. I don’t see it as a necessity. It adds length to the whole P group and IMO length is pretty important since most battery packs are made laying the 18650s along the length of the deck_
So the cost: 100USD NESE vs 80USD Winfly (and this is early access which most of the time is cheaper than regular) 20USD for stamped proper tab with raised nipple, plated, then proper low set foam for compression added must be worth that? What got me is that he even does not want to share stl files, not to mention CAD’s cause its bad for business. In the end, the system started taking NESE shape with lower quality components costing marginally less. Maybe its me but it does not make sense to me, and i was flamed for the things i said that became true in the end. Am i weird?
On the better note, my system is going to be used in student formula E. Pakistan team will be using it.
We were working on implementing temp sensors. Rules require to have one probe per 3 cells max with proximity of <10mm. I have found the sensor and implemented in NESE 8P module. it got wider by 3mm but is still compacts for car: (Illustration, middle probe is placed correctly now) Its not public, but if someone has project requiring this capability, its available on request (stl or cad)
