hmmm what to do, how to do it, how to mold it =) Got all my stuff in finally…just finished (pretty much) my first diy ebike build… and now onto this tomorrow…
ditching the meepo deck… swapping for a 40" blank deck… and trying to build a case for 8p with the kydex sheet in the background but using 6p to start…
dont have resources to build a nice wood buck to mold over…
wondering if i can press the kydex into the baking pans?
If i mold around the pans theres not as much free space for mounting hardware as id like and theres a bit extra free space inside the pan that make me want to press it in hmmmm…
what about a cardboard buck? i have a fair amount of double thick from all my deliveries… i can cut enough layers to get to 2.5", i know it will compress some with pressure BUT stacked enough will resist as well… and can be shaped to perfection…
an unfinished DIY video…lol maybe i will finish now that i have to redo for this new board…
but seriously, theyre the best mod ive done so far… so much shit is under there that i dont know where it comes from…which means it would have been on me =)
heres a slight update… came out ok, fawking corners are a bitch and will have a srease/fold… may end up revising the buck and change the shape… all on video but will wait to edit until im done!
–and this all before I came back around with the heat gun and smoothed it out more…
I made a shape that went over the mold and left some space for the kydex to fit inbetween, then heated and pushed, worked fine. I think only one corner got semi bad, but was very minor. But yeah, its hard with only heatgun.
Dropped mine and it made some burn marks on the enclosure.
