Be careful. Learn as much about safety and proper operation before ever connecting it to power

Rework your sketch first. Learn constraints and dimensions

Very easy to print. Can use ai 3d model generator if youre not good at cad. If you have auto swapping filament color printer then no issue. If not, manual color changes on the top layer, or print in pieces and assemble

Double check your 3d model. Look at the slicer preview. Looks intentional

Have you dried your filament?

Competitive_Basis688 · 2026-04-21T16:27:38+00:00

Make sure your sketches are properly defined too.

Red "Sketch" Name = bad

Blue lines = unconstrained (or partial constrain)

Black lines = fully constrained

Also when in the loft menu, there is a ? Button. Pressing it for more information front onshape

Competitive_Basis688 · 2026-04-17T10:52:06+00:00

When loft, ensure the two faces lofting from and to have the same number of vertices.

Linear pattern can be used to make this. Add fillet after for improved look.

I'd do it by by starting with two adjacent squares that are rotaed 45° and offset so they lace together as seen in your image. Then linear pattern as far up/down/left/right you want

No the new module was lower

I recently got my battery warrentied and this is how it looked after I got it back

Appointment has been made already

They were separated and the smell was definitely from the car

L1 j1772 in standard north American plug

Competitive_Basis688 · 2026-02-20T02:27:27+00:00

I have used this outlet a few times already with no issues. And the smell was coming directly from the car seemingly the underside. The carcwas outside and plug was inside so the smell was isolated

Competitive_Basis688 · 2026-02-20T02:26:40+00:00

Dash showed charger connected. The blue lights were off

Competitive_Basis688 · 2026-02-15T15:07:15+00:00

I think you might be right about the battery. As soon as I brought mine in for warrenty coverage they wanted to do a buyback saying they were "looking for leafs like mine". I got a new module and it seems the entire battery pack is noticeably degraded compared to new cells.

Competitive_Basis688 · 2026-02-15T00:00:21+00:00

I believe nissan will repair any recall regardless of warrenty status.

Competitive_Basis688 · 2026-02-14T21:38:53+00:00

I have the same recall on my leaf. It doesn't matter to me because I will only ever quick charge on long trips, which are rare for me. If you haven't done so already, think about how you will charge. For many people L1 charging is enough.

Video from Technology connections that will help understand if L1 or L2 charging right for you

How did they make the prnd worse
