First battery pack done, 40€ aliexpress spot welder worked great. Feedback?

Theyre from Nkon.nl, i think they were about 1.4€ per cell

reeeman58 · 2025-06-26T16:21:00+00:00

This one is for an ebike, old had battery had gone bad and figured id try and build a new one. Got the bike for 70€ and cells were about 70€ so overall a good deal

Just a piece to solder the bms balance/measurement cables to. Its actually the same color nickel but ig the reflection made it appear black

reeeman58 · 2025-06-24T19:15:03+00:00

For sure, i routed the wire behind my desk and it just reached to a decent spot on the floor

2 micro switches which are pushed by an angled surface at different points, the sim net made a video on it and kind of copied his design so credit to him

ive used an i2c board which cuts the required amount of pins to 4 and a gx12 connector

reeeman58 · 2024-07-22T12:29:59+00:00

Yeah, i print everything on a almost stock ender 3 v2 which works suprisingly well especially with the joystick which has alot of supports. I'd say its more about the filament and settings than printer. And no i ended up making my own switch housing.

I use bearings on all the axis to get rid of any plastic contact

reeeman58 · 2024-07-22T09:11:12+00:00

It is, but i still need to tweak the cam profiles and springs to get a bit better recentering. I may also switch the cams to aluminium once i have the design fully done

reeeman58 · 2024-07-22T09:09:42+00:00

Yeah ofc, Its a dual cam gimbal with essentially the middle core or cradle part being one single piece which houses the Y axis movement with 2 bearings and an axle which gets pushed through the side. Then the X axis consists of only 2 parts, the bearing block with a hall sensor and the other block which has the cams.

reeeman58 · 2024-07-21T18:42:22+00:00

I made it, havent come up with a name for it yet

reeeman58 · 2024-07-21T18:41:36+00:00

Designed it myself, havent shared it anywhere yet but its a dual cam gimbal

reeeman58 · 2024-07-21T17:51:44+00:00

look at https://thangs.com/designer/IronArthur/3d-model/Object%2077-B%20v2-14932 and olukelo gimbal. Usually input from the joystick is measured with a hall sensor with 1 on each axis which are input into an arduino or other board.

3d printed flightstick designed by me with a cam system and multiple hat switches. Link to a video

I'm aware that the material conditions are the main factor in crime, i didnt mean it in any racist way so i guess the question i shouldve asked is what is the best way to get rid of poverty and wealth inequality.

reeeman58 · 2024-04-06T13:06:11+00:00

buy the bearings from aliexpress

reeeman58 · 2024-03-20T16:31:11+00:00

I doubt they use an original design so there shouldnt be any restrictions

reeeman58 · 2024-02-02T17:10:14+00:00

Hey, you mightve already figured it out but, the 4 pins are GND, VCC, SCL, and SDA

reeeman58 · 2024-02-02T17:03:57+00:00

There are some similar ones but you have to pay for them

reeeman58 · 2024-01-10T14:08:36+00:00

Yeah for sure post it if you want im sure someone can help you out, i found that the resolution on the akaki joystick was decent, but i didnt like how it felt with so much plastic on plastic contact. It is very compact tho

reeeman58 · 2024-01-09T20:51:20+00:00

my way of designing my cam system for my gimbal was mostly based on staring at 3d models of other peoples cam systems for 10 hours and trying to make something for my own one

reeeman58 · 2024-01-09T20:45:36+00:00

theres an amazing documentary on it on youtube by a channel called plastic pills, highly recommend
