I was surprised to find this unusual transportation recently, and he was pretty sweet!

yes sir smithlabs..does that time a long time to make something? you go online and download the plans or whatever and send them to the printer?

It is slow, because you take tiny dots of hot plastic, and stack them up, one on the other, to make a 3-D shape.

What I want, no one else has ever made, so I will need to make the model first, then make the part. Actually I will need to make four part models, and print them all at once.

:)

oh ok sir smithlabs and you will be doing this in your spare time at night?

I am quite good with AutoCAD and drawing things, ROFLOL! The 3-D printer runs by itself after I tell it to print. At first, I will only print a single battery bank set, to be sure all is right.

Once the first one is tested, I will begin heavy construction of the entire system. My bandsaw will cut a dozen tubes at a time, so the actual construction should be quick. I may even order some doughnut shaped Printed Circuit Boards, to go between layers of batteries.

I have ordered the BMS already, and it will be here before I am ready.

:O

sir smithlabs but what is BMS that you have ordered already? doesn't sound good.

Sorry, BMS is a Battery Management System. I was designing one myself, but I found a nice one I could buy for less cost, than I could build my own. If it behaves, I will need 50 of them.

When I finish, this battery will look like a reactor core; but it should last over 30 years, without me messing with this battery bank.

:D

holy moly sir smithlabs! are you going to show photos and stuff about this?

@janton Yes, someone might benefit from it. I will do a set of build pictures. I will probably do one on the 3-D parts too, just in case someone needs that info too.

I just thought about when I go off grid. I will need a new computer. This one draws half as much as one of the AC units I am installing! I will need to fix that for sure!

*>:(

oh ok sir smithlabs..so the new computers don't take hardly any power?
