Copperhead (batteries not included)

[sparkyjuice]

Had to postpone dna build as on a deadline for this mod

my mission to build a nuts mod for an equally nuts cloudchaser

dual 18650 300+ Watts

oh, and it has to be pure mech. mod

and so the idea of copperhead was born..... or mutant apocalyptic unicorn mod as he (dubious) recipient would have it

so machines....and copper....lots of copper....you're gonna need to work out to carry this

 

[sparkyjuice]

and so we start with my favourite material...
PTFE
I like machining PTFE it leaves flakes of white everywhere.
And it doesn't melt..easily.

 

[sparkyjuice]

machining down the battery cradle
see...white flakes.....
this will cradle the batteries (not included)

 

[sparkyjuice]

here are the batteries in the (now machined) cradle
note; these batteries are NOT included !

 

[sparkyjuice]

here is another view of the components side on
I decided that 800 amp busbar was not enough so sandwiched it.....
between two 100 amp busbars
copper sandwich !

PTFE block machined to size and alu-bronze backplate (4mm)
cut to length
Those boxes in the background contain sony VTC4 batteries for scale....
and guess what ?

side view of copper sandwich
machined copper looks shiny....look now this will not be shiny for long
sides carefully machined to match height of internal box

Nice work mate !!

I love machining hd plastic but I hate cleaning it up because its sticks to everything, static electricity

 

[sparkyjuice]

copper bar turned down from busbar
part formed switch and battery switch positive poles
copper for battery pads in foreground...
next up is to join the sides to the back panel.
I'm thinking drill, countersink and rivet then machine flush....
mmmmm....copper rivets.
to be continued (hopefully tomorrow)
