The build is essentially finished, but I’ve been away for a week on holiday. If I can be bothered (still in holiday mode) I might have a look at configuring the FOCBOXs this week, otherwise I’ll tackle it next week. Been putting this off since it’s my first time with the BLDC Tool. The horror stories of people frying them are my excuse for procrastination… Right now I have Shrodringers FOCBOXs, and the box is still shut LOL…
Exactly. They cost a LOT more on Amazon. Like everything, you could order an infinity from alibaba probably for next to nothing if you don’t mind waiting a lifetime.
But 8mm M4 are on prime. 3 day shipping. They accidentally sent me 30 instead of 20. So win there.
After using the inserts @Eboosted (stainless rivet nut inserts) suggested and the traditional inserts @deckoz uses, I can say I will only use these.
Maybe thats just me. @deckoz have you tried these in any of your mirad of amazing builds?
Agreed. I just don’t want to use brass because it mars more easily. Most boards are a glue, hardwood composite so I think metal threads would be alright. My deck is also 13mm thick so I’m probably just going to use m4 x 10mm
Im using 2 3d pribted frames one on the board and one on the enclosure.
The frames are made out of flexible tpe to avoid vibration noise and to achive some sealing aganst dust / splash water
In the frames are strong neodym magnets 6 in each frame
So when i put the enclosure on it fets alligned through the magnets and to really fixate it ill push it down thts the 2 valcro pieces touch
It holds up well and you dont see any screws at all
hmm ok never thought of tht so far i hadnt any issues regading the electronics/motors (FOC, remote signal, Bluetooth signal for the xmatic app)
But thts a good point ill keep in mind
