He's had at least one of them for a while now......didn't you read:
Trying to drum up support for the Battery Test results. I think it has great potential.
ROFLMAO........
You're welcome!
Love the accents on the buttons.

Well, I know that Li -Ion may not the best as a power supply but I have made a 3 x 18650 mod anyway
It features
including:
All in all, it is working and fits nicely in the colourful fleet
And this is how it started; a broken battery pack that I was playing with:
It features
- 3 x LG HG2 3000mAh batteries with a whopping 33.3Wh nominal and hopefully some 25-30Wh actual capacity which is still not too bad especially for the size.
- Max planned dimensions of 38 x 50 x 85mm (1.496 x 1.9685 x 3.3465 inches) with an annoying +/-0.5mm Shapeways tolerancy
- Thousands of parts
including:
- Slightly concave battery cover that even more ergonomic (at least for me) than expected
- Spring loaded solid copper battery contacts
- Additional 25A quick blow glass fuse
- Pressfit concave fire button that almost works as good as intended and almost always as flush as designed
- Super simple double action +/- bar that works/looks exactly as intended
- A 3D print with acceptable overall accuracy and unacceptable accuracy on detail level (e.g. the body is some 0.5mm higher than designed which is ok but this 0.5 mm is plenty when it is added to a wall that should have been 2.5 mm thick not 3mm) and a broken(?)/missing part that happen to be an extremely important load bearing screw socket. Let alone the useless oval pilot holes just to name a few.
- A couple stupid design flaws including a missing pilot hole where I couldn't drill any
- Some brutal filing/hot knifing etc. actions and yes, even some hot glues thanks to the last two points above.
All in all, it is working and fits nicely in the colourful fleet

That's awesome @vapealone 
That deserves more than just a like! Pulling off a complex 3D design is a lot harder than the uninitiated would think. And thinking "outside the box" and pulling it off always deserves kudos.
Very nice @vapealone!

It doesn't features the designed magnets thought because of the useless oval sockets and the super tight fit that I finally achieved when I managed to file/grind enough material off to make the parts interlock at all.

Thanks guys for your feedback
Now starts the beta testing: first day out
Fingers crossed and backup mods prepared
Still hard to believe that it actually works

That is funny you said that. I actually have some education and experience in (3D) design, on different scale thought, but to do this simple looking but internally ridiculously overcomplicated bugger was a lot harder than I would have thoughtThat deserves more than just a like!

Very nice @vapealone!

I looked at the battery spread sheet . But I have a question . What battery dobu guys think is the best option for the dimension I need. I can fit 75x35x20 . I have a thunderpower 1350 prolite but if there's a better option I'd like to try it out.
Yeah I was curious as to a quality rating .
