Hi i have made 2 models for my electric longboard settup. I will be using 50 18650 batteries. But i need a way to get my 3d model smoothend up so is nice and even. I am not a genius at creating models, so i need some help. Either one that can do it for me or one that can tell me how.
Hey, I’ll answer here Sand it down with low grit sandpaper then use spray on spatula. Primer won’t be enough to fill the layers. Either use spray on spatula or go directly for spatula / glass fiber spatula on polymer basis. If using ABS just use acetone. But I heard it does no good concerning rigidity.
Can you send me your STL files for the enclosure. I am building a board with 50 18650 batteries. And my dilemma is either to build it like you. Or fill the entire underboard up with sections maybe 5 sections.
If you print with ABS you can use acetone to smoothen prints. Look online or on youtube on how to do it and you’ll find many guides. The most common methods is to use acetone vapors like hanging the piece in a jar / container with acetone and leave it in the sun. Otherwise you can dissolve some ABS (from print scraps for example) in a jar with acetone and then use it as paint/filler, wear a mask and do it outside if you do it.
For PLA there are specific products (usually quite expensive?) and also you can sand the prints and prime/paint them.
Yes its also what i though would be best. I have seen the one you link to. But it has only space for 6S4P. You had more in the other pack you made. And what program do you use to make the models. I use Tinkercad but its just to difficult getting decent surfaces
