There is a print pause feature in the prusa slicer. I haven’t tried cura yet but I’m sure that feature is in there.

I’m using it to add threaded nuts to hold down the internal “battery tray” that keeps the lipos from crashing into my esc.

I must look into this print pause feature…

It’s great to embed nuts for stronger threads. Just pause at the layer that covers them. I use a bit of glue sometimes so the print head does not pull them out.

Works for magnets too.

No, there’s a camfer on the bottom. That’s just a support.

Did you ever weigh your enclosure to see if you beat the peli case?

@Kilow did you delete the github files? I’d love a copy if you’re willing. Need to make a jump bro nese enclosure!

2lbs 8 oz. With all the wires but no esc. Let me check the git hub. It should be there but I’ll put them back up if they are not

So basically saved me the weight of the esc case and pull the center gravity in closer to center.

Ok, put the file (fusion file) back up or maybe I forgot to ever add it. I don’t remember

That’s wild you managed to put together a custom case at the same weight. Probably stiffer and stronger with the plates.

Appreciate the fusion files! Just realized the prusa’s max bed size (250x210) is perfect for a ~12s6p.
