It worked, now I have half a board assembled, forgot how much carbon fiber itches, gonna take a bath to take all off, also it’s really abrasive, ruined my bits
Overall I really like the looks of the board, looking in the 3D model I was afraid the 218mm would be too narrow and look weird
Enclosure done, unfortunately I couldn’t find the same spray pain anywhere, but this one gave a textured finish that I really liked, hard to show in the pictures , unfortunately the joints are showing, I guess the abs misture being too thick made it really slow to dry and there is still solvent evaporating to this day
if you can get yourself some wrinkle paint thats giving 3d printed parts an gorgeous finish not smooth but seamless and in my personal opinion it looks better and feels beefier then.
Thanks for the suggestion, just took a look to see what’s available around here and they are really expensive, but look really great, one problem might be dirt getting stuck and hard to clean
Exactly the same finish as what @Sinned800 sent. It’s a truck liner spray and its scratch resistant, gives a ‘griptape’ look, and looks awesome. I’m sourcing for some locally and will eventually spray it on my remotes and enclosures.
Nice, found it a bit cheaper than the VHT, unfortunately there is no national manufacturer with something similar, so a can is 4 times the price of a high quality spray paint, for now I will keep as the last pictures since time is short to finish it
Took some time to do the battery level led’s, unfortunately screwed up a bit, but would be worse if I tried to fix
Also opened my motors to put sensors and again the small bearings are shot, less than 200 km, the fit with the housing is too tight, I will try to widen them a bit with sand paper until it’s uncertain and hold them in place with liquid retainer
One of the hall sensors on one of the boards is dead, I have some them but I think they are ratiometric
