it's too bad you can't bake batteries and circuit boards.

cause it'd be really fun to take all your components, charging circuit, LIPO battery, VV chipset, atty connector, etc, wire em up then glomp em into a wad of sculpey and bake it up into a solid mod Could do some interesting things

What about using 2 pieces of sculpey and actual sized models of the batteries and circuit, spraying them with some type of mold release and mashing those together trapping the models within. After it bakes, take out the models and replace them with the real components. You'd then have to join both halves with screws or magnets, of course, but it'd be pretty darn kewl!

Note: I'm not saying I've done this or even if it will work, BTW. Just hopeful wishing! I guess it all comes down to what kind of mold release (if any) would work.

 

[Lance_Wallen]

as far as that goes I could use the original components wrapped in cellophane or something just to get the shape and just take it apart.

Part of the cool factor would be it being one molded piece. I might still try that though, could be fun, just assemble all the guts and smoosh em into a ball of sculpey so I could separate it into two parts, bake the parts and glue em back together. It's not like the stuffs that expensive, if I have to service it somehow I'll just smash it

I think it's a great idea. Just remember that everything inside is going to create heat in one way or another. That heat needs to be able to adequately disapate or else you will cook your battery and electronics into failure. Electronics failure... You're out a couple bucks. Battery failure....could be quite a bit more costly, especially when heat is the instigator.

I'm thinking LIPO batteries, I'll just wrap em with a little packing wrap when I mold the shape that'll give em expansion room and I'll lay a couple toothpicks on em to make an air vent out of the side of the body. The rest shouldn't be an issue, the DNA boards don't run too hot, the switches and pots I use are WAY overkill so they'll last longer than the other components.

I might try this out this weekend... I've got a buncha sculpey laying around I was gonna use to make some fancy drip tips and tank sleeves.

I made something like 'everything baked in a single body' and using this thing so far. Tried to make as compact and powerful as possible

I KNEW this was gonna be about Sculpey. Been thinking about some sort of custom sleeve made out of the stuff.

Couldn't you find a wooden dowel that was the same diameter and just use that as to form the sleeve?

 

[Lance_Wallen]

it's not about a sleeve. I'm going to be using LIPO batteries, a DNA board, the Evolv micro USB charging board, a pot and a switch + atty connector. I just wanted to mush it all together into an interesting shape and bake it. That was the uneducated thought process
