lizardmech Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Anyone thought up any interesting designs yet? I saw some posts in other threads people were thinking of trying to make some with 3d printers. I made this one while studying battery layout options. It has 16S4P. I built it around a 16" ebike motor dimensions but it might be a little too wide, I'm not sure if the EUC motors have special shortened axles.

Sholphin02 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Love it It would be nice to see custom shell for the existing wheel one day. => @ lizardmech: I will be more than happy to add this shell to my msuper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxime Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 @ lizardmech, I am not sure : did you build it, I mean realize hard, or is it a computationnal design (splendid one, btw) ? In fact, I am not sure that a 3D printed shell would be solid enough, any material it is built in, that would be a real size test... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 3d rendering, the best option is to print out a 3d mold and use carbon fiber. It's not overly difficult or expensive just too time consuming for mass production.

Maxime Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 OK, thanks. Time consuming, if it is to play is just part of the play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric_vehicle_lover Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Try to buy spare parts of cheap generic and assembly your own. It should be possible to find some 3D printing group on big cities that can print big parts like the shell of an EUC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxime Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I am quite sure that a 3D printed shell would not be solid enough. I can see how it flies when it gets rid of me for "some unwanted reason", and I can say it must be VERY solid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric_vehicle_lover Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 @lizardmech did you make the design to be able to be printable?? is that composed of 2 parts that can be put together using some screws? -- because I will have some access to a big 3D printer and I may start trying to print :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizardmech Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 You would need to engineer some sort of mounting mechanism, my idea was to make the primary part without a seam running down the middle. It would also let you change housings without removing batteries, and control boards, so production lines could make one set of naked EUC and turn them into different models just by changing covers and battery layout. It might be possible to print this, it would need some support ribbing and I didn't finish the rear vent yet. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9A_COVyKU7oUXVhZmdwZTh6S00/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick dirty print ..resized. Some problem with the top/internal surface .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric_vehicle_lover Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Great @Berus and @lizardmech :-) For a 3D printing shell, since rate of fail on 3D Pritning is higher with the printing time, I would make the shell in 2 or 4 parts - also like that, smaller printers would be able to print. Also, I would design for the already existing cheap battery packs, controller board, motor and pedals -- we can buy a full generic EUC in parts except the shell - anyway, is maybe better to do our own shell so we can make one with more space for extra battery packs :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, the vent interior is a separate mesh, you would have to split it and print separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
