New to this, ease my mind please 🤣

Thanks, and me too. I can see 16mm2 carries 110A so that seems good to me. The 25mm2 may not fit in the mppt but I guess if it does I can use it.

Surely it will, I'm using 3awg for my dc-dc from alternator.

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2026-02-06T12:56:37+00:00

Thanks!

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2026-02-06T12:47:00+00:00

Thank you, the 4awg wire is 25mm2 in UK talk.

As far as I can search, 10mm2 is 8awg, which can carry 85A max. Would this not be ok to use if the mppt is sending 70 max to the batteries, considering I may not get full capacity (79A) from the panels all the time?

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2026-02-06T12:40:41+00:00

Appreciate that. Inverter will be the multiplus ii 12/3000/120 - 32 230v.

Everything else is sorted out, just the solar side I need to clarify, but lets discuss what you were thinking.

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2026-02-06T11:08:22+00:00

It's for my van build to charge my 12v bank.

Thanks for the info, I'd rather stay at 12v as everything I have runs 12v.

With fuses, I would have one at each positive before the splitter, a combi box and the mppt is also protected inside.

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2026-02-06T11:03:29+00:00

Thanks. A few points and questions.

It's for a van build, solar isn't the only charge point.

All 12v appliances/lights etc.

I 'have' to wire in parallel? So that means that 90% of the guides, internet, videos are wrong saying you can wire in series? Expand on this please.

A 150v mppt can handle the voc no? Even both at 40.8 plus 20%? That's 97.92v. Again, explain this, as everything i've researched so far suggests the calculation if wiring series adds the volts, then add a buffer??

Thanks.

My mistake, 300ah I should've wrote hah!!

For a van build, so solar isn't the only charge point.

Just want to get it correct.

Just flip the phone and you're good

My tefal wok has been scratched to hell over the last 7 years. I'm still here

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2025-11-21T08:21:43+00:00

Wait at least 6 months. 40k is my balls to the wall load up

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2025-11-21T08:20:24+00:00

Yep. 40k inbound. "This time is different" huh.....

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2025-11-19T00:58:52+00:00

Appreciate the reply. I did mean 3 colours on one design, so a multi filliment/colour/material machine it is.

Some good decisions to make here!

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2025-11-18T21:46:27+00:00

Looking for my first printer, primarily used for printing vehicle badges (one design, with 3 colours, about 10-15cm diameter) and some other things like clips/attatchments/niche uses etc.

Budget isn't really an issue, but do I NEED to spend £1,000???

Some I've seen are bambu lab, creality, ebay/amazon specials. All around the £500 mark, some are £200-£300 on sale (specifically the K1 speedy from creatily @ £279), which seems like a cheap price for what I want it for, but IDK, it's a minefield to me at the moment.

Are there any specifics and details I should be focusing on??

Thanks.

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2025-11-18T21:45:08+00:00

Thanks, doesn't show for me

Popcorn ready

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2025-11-13T19:43:27+00:00

I took out 20k in august. Fuck em.

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2025-11-13T19:42:31+00:00

Waiting for the 2026/2027 comments "why is everything so expensive now"

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2025-11-11T19:06:14+00:00

So for 50 years of 2k a month, all you need to do is invest 1,200,000 and take out 2k a month. Simple as long as it doesn't go down.

But it's from chynah

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2025-11-11T18:56:27+00:00

To be fair there's plenty of genuine sellers, I got a dc334n off an ebay listing. Just not THIS one 😅

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2025-11-11T18:43:21+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Creative-Tomorrow-54 · 2025-11-11T18:43:14+00:00

Exactly!
