So, I am using @psychotiller’s 405 enclosure, but the concaveness of my deck is very deep, so when I place my battery on the deck and try to fit the enclosure on there is about a 3/8ths-inch gap between the enclosure and deck. Because of how big the battery is I can’t really flex the enclosure enough to seal it. I wanted to get some suggestions on how to fill this gap. Any input would be appreciated, thanks! I have attached photos.
If you physically can’t flex it down because the battery is too big and won’t allow the movement then you could do this but it is a pretty extreme fix and you would have to drill the fixing holes through too.
I could use some 1/4-inch ABS instead and epoxy it to the enclosure side. I already have the threaded inserts in the board, so I don’t want to get any glue in them.
Heat gun bruv. Screw the enclosure down to snug. Start heating one end until you can completely screw down the enclosure. Repeat on other end and let cool.
Don’t think the battery will let him do that judging by the post. Those tiller enclosures shape well with heat though. @butt_stallion have you thought about a printed riser? Access to a printer?
That would be the go. Maybe have to do it in two halves but I reckon thats the easiest way out. Include the screw holes and foam edge it and you’re done. good luck with it and keep us posted.
I had 3dhubs do a 10mm riser for an old build and they source local and turned it around in 3 days for me to pick up. I now just use the company direct. another option if you’re as impatient as me.
dude…Mount the enclosure. The abs flexes. All of your pics show an enclosure with no mount hardware even trying to flex the flanges towards the deck. I’d have that board buttoned up in like 5 minutes.
If you place velcro along the sides of the bottom of your battery, it will cradle the concave of your deck. Then that wouldn’t be a concern either. Though I don’t know how your pack was constructed.
