Mighty!
The loop could be a button, with the files an easy ‘switch’ thanks

For a button you could make it a lot flatter too, just modify the height of the plane created in step 1.

Think I missed this thread before but adding my 3d printable skate parts here too. The thingiverse files are exports of the parts from onshape. All the models on onshape should be editable by anyone (I don’t pay for the private service so everything is free to the public). The onshape models are always more up to date since I only occasionally export STLs to update thingiverse. Recently I modified the battery box to give it some more strength on the parts where batteries move in and out of it (added chamfer, before that change first one broke after about 6 months of use).

So i just found out my local library has a 3d printer that’s free to use. (Just material cost) I was hoping to make a top mount volt display/ power button/ charging port for my board. Was hoping someone could tell me if their equipment is suitable for my needs.
Print Surface: Heated borosilicate glass bed covered with PEI print surface. Separate bed preparation is recommended when printing with flexible filaments, which can be found on the Flexystruder and FlexyDually Tool Head pages respectively.
Print Area: 290mm x 275mm x 250mm (11.4in x 10.8in x 9.8in)
Print Volume: 199375 cm3 (1206 in3) of usable space
Top Print Speed: 200mm/sec (7.9in/sec)
Layer Thickness with 0.35mm nozzle: 0.075mm to 0.35mm (0.003in - 0.0138in)
Layer Thickness with 0.5mm nozzle: 0.075mm to 0.5mm (0.003in - 0.0196in)
Capable Materials: ABS, PLA, HIPS, PVA, wood filled filaments, Polyester (Tritan), PETT, bronze and copper filled filaments, Polycarbonate, Nylon, PETG, conductive PLA and ABS, UV luminescent filaments, PCTPE, PC-ABS, Alloy 910, and more every day.
Discouraged Materials: 3D printing with carbon fiber filaments is not recommended at this time because carbon fiber filaments can degrade both the nozzle and hot end of the LulzBot TAZ 5 Tool Head.
Usable Filament Sizes: standard 3mm (0.1in)
Multi-Software Compatible: Freedom to use any number of 3D printing software programs, Cura LulzBot Edition ships standard! Other compatible Free Software options include OctoPrint, BotQueue, Slic3r, Printrun, MatterControl, and many more. If not would anyone be able to make me one at a fair price? Thanks in advance

Woah thats so cool
Everything sounds fine about the 3d printer? What printer is it?
You recently liked one of my posts that had what sounds like what you need
I want to mount it in the hole of my drop through board on the front truck. So a little different than that one. I think they have a few different printers I’ll have to look up what the model is exactly
Oh right. That would be relatively easy
@mmaner is the creator of the design, so he’ll know whatsup
LulzBot TAZ 5? What kind of library is this lol

Think I’m Gonna try this one. Hoping I have time tomorrow to go check it out
I have some drop through covers I’ve designed, just haven’t uploaded them yet. If you’ll give me the dimensions of the volt meter power switch and charge port I’ll customize it for you and upload it.

I wonder what the limit is on print time since things for esk8 tend to be somewhat big and therefore have long print times. If you’re just doing custom hole covers it will be relatively fast, but would check if they have time limits and if they have someone around who monitors the prints or if you’ll need to stick around while the job is running. Lulzbot are nice printers and good company constantly develops hardware in the open.
They’re open for 5 hours a day first come first serve no time limit
Gotcha that’s a decent amount of time but even small stuff takes an hour or two, for an enclosure can be 10hrs+ but the slicer software you run the model through before printing can give you a rough idea of time and you can adjust infill amount to reduce time (sacrificing some strength and accuracy in the part)
Attempting an mpcnc build so been doing a lot of prints in pla and just started with petg.

Honestly I’ve only just started ordering parts and haven’t ordered anything as far as the battery goes. I’ve been meaning to look at my options for displays but I’ve been preoccupied with learning some of the more important parts of the board, working too much and my family.(newborn in the house)

I’m gonna need access to a bigger printer or probably just pay someone to print for me for the main thing I want. Who’s the go to guy that wants my money?
