Vacuum Formed Enclosures For DIY Electric Skateboard Components

Hi onloop, I was wandering if you are willing to built a custom enclosure, nothing fancy, just a square box?

That’s exactly what I need there, any way to get something similar? willing to pay for it, of course lol

@zool774 I’ve got one more available right now if you want it! http://www.ebay.com/itm/171936689100?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

hey are you willing to customized a little bit? or is it what is it? I need one to cover the Alien Power System battery pack http://alienpowersystem.com/shop/alien-power-pack/alien-power-pack-6s-8000mah-35c-lipo/# the size is 14’’ x 5.8’’ x1.2’’ just a straight box.

I am. I’d have to make a new mold, straight wouldn’t be that difficult. $60 And I’ll do it.

ok perfect let me just give you the right size in mm…

well isnt that straight, just the front and back a bit like an angle (see pictures) would it be a problem?

Yeah, But it’s not a straight box shape. It takes time to sand and shape these molds. It would just be $80. That’s what I charge for a custom mold which will include your enclosure shipped to you. All in all, Not a problem. Let me ask you this though. Where are you planning on putting your receiver, esc(s) and wiring?

at one end of it, means either side

Cool. When do you want it?

actually on the esc side it needs to be straight not on an angle, sorry Ive forgot about that, so less work for you, also I think there should be an hole for the wiring to go over the motor. Ok so lets recap; -475mm x146mm x 30mm, this is the right size after remeasuring it, -front side at 45 degrees angle or so, the back straight 90 degrees with wiring hole in the middle -14 mm ledge for screw holes what do you think???

by Saturday or beginning of next week not really in a rush

Haha! You sure this time? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I’ll do it for $60. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171942470674?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

hahaha sorry for all the changes :joy: :joy: that’s it…

thank you so much, I really appreciate it… a good electric longboard isn’t that good without a nice,slick, abs enclosure box lol…

should I make the payment now on ebay, or no rush?

When you’re ready. It’ll just take a few days to make after you order it.

ok Ill go ahead and place the order now! one more question: is the abs plastic, you normally use, smooth on one side and rough on the other one? if so I was wandering if there is a way to have the smooth surface on the external side?

I can definitely do the shiny side out. Cool, I’ll get started on it
