Hey all, Thanks for the encouragement, been working hard trying to get things finished as the weather warms up!
I also stepped on my phone… so I am waiting on a replacement! I have a couple of pics of my most recent project, a DIY battery box for some Lithium Ion Phosphate battery cells, which I built from 1/8″ thick by 1″ angled aluminum, 1/4″ acrylic. All held together with 1/4 » SS threaded rod, lock nuts and washers. I used 1/8″ copper bar for connectors for the negative terminal to the BMS (battery management system), and used 6, 8, and 2 AWG wires. I had to learn a lot about wiring, shrink wrap, etc. etc.!
I used thickened Epoxy to connect the aluminum to the acrylic, after scuffing them both up well with 80 grit sandpaper.
