OW Pint VESC Repair

@ed_co I have to find another person do do my printing, my present guy moved away. Sorry.

Lia

I've publicly released the battery housing on MyMiniFactory.
Haven't yet mentioned it on reddit though since I don't want to spend this evening responding to lots of comments D:

Here's the link in case anyone is interested.

ed_co

@lia As usual, just amazing!
Have you started with the battery for your pint/pint x hybrid?

Lia

@ed_co Thanks <3

Nothing like that yet, waiting on things to calm down before buying some more gear.

Lemur

@lia I finally found someone to print the battery box for me . Should be done next week. Thank you.

Lia

@lemur Thanks for letting me know :) Eager to hear if it works well for you too.

Likely you all know about this, which I happened on today -- preorder for a motor that may work in a XR:

Lia

@s-leon Very excited seeing these, do we know if those are custom fab or off the shelf whitelabel motors?

S. Leon

@lia -- Good question.

biell

@s-leon From what I read, it will work inside the XR rails, but not with the XR controller or battery. The voltage range is 60-80v, which I assume is nominal. If so, an XR with a 54v nominal, would be below spec. The XR adapter they speak of sounds like a mounting bracket and not a connector adapter. Can anyone maybe more knowledgeable about these things correct me?

If you could plug this thing into a GT with 63v nominal, on the other hand, that would be a game changer for many people!

Lia

@biell Motor should still work at the lower voltages. That might just be a recommended range for desired speeds.
I don't see a Kv rating anywhere which is how you'd determine the speed per voltage so we'll have to wait and see unless that info is hidden somewhere.

Power: 2000W

-Uh-oh. That's officially not road legal up to any PEV for where I live. The last time I checked.

Lia

@sirgu Problem solved ;)

Lia

@lemur Looks good so far, did the bumper guides clean up nicely?

@NotSure Shushy ;) I don't have a working heated bed.

Lemur

@lia They look pretty clean already, I have to order some bumpers though.

Wowowowow,great thread!Hello everyone!
Bought a disgraced pint for cheap as it was runned over by a car
The front box was completely smashed, plan to vesc it,but I need a box
The back box is OK but I was planning to make a bigger one like PintX to fit a bigger battery
You have both boxes HERE! Links don't work
Where can I get them?Thankies!!

LOAFFETTE

@lia that...
It looked like a great board until you pulled the controller and battery lid off

what have they done to the poor boy?!
That battery looks jank as hell, and that controller...
oh my god

This looks worse than my first build

Good find, though! ~~I hope~~
What do you plan to do with it?

Edit: Wait, this was two years old?!

LOAFFETTE

@legolas You should be able to find links or at least a place to find people who would have them on the vescify discord server
