I know I saw a neat idea on a site for covering the cell busbars beforeI thought about shrink tubing for my tools and busbars.
But for the busbars there's still so much exposed.
I've seen some busbar covers that look pretty good but they don't look easy to get on and off.
With all of the testing and balancing we do, we need something that just snaps on and off.
from what I can read the stock ender 3 can print up to 250 or soI want to buy a 3d printer. But I don't want to make flammable cell covers.
I wonder if this works on a standard 3d printer - https://www.3dxtech.com/product/firewire-flame-retardant-abs/
edit: no luck. that stuff requires a special expensive 3d printer. https://creality3d.shop/collections/cr-series/products/cr-5-pro-h-3d-printer
My cells are sitting because I am away from home now. My batteries are going back together as soon as I get home.
And I will be posting about my non flammable progress. It's a big pain in the ass but I am persistent.
YepI've been away from home but I am anxious to get these batteries up and running.
I am thinking about switching my configuration to 18s. The Solark charges up to 63V.
And my BMSs can go up to 22s
Seems worth a try.
I ordered from Don Rowe for slightly cheaper, but had to wait nearly two months for the back ordered spare fuses. The Blue Sea fuse holder looks nicer than mine, especially with the hold down clips.I was going to make some fuse holders but decided to buy Blue Sea 110A - 200A fuse holders.
I back ordered 4 of them months ago and they finally shipped.
I got 125A class T fuses too.

Just as an FYI, the $50 fuse holder from Don Rowe included a class T fuse, and spares are $20.I ordered from Don Rowe for slightly cheaper, but had to wait nearly two months for the back ordered spare fuses. The Blue Sea fuse holder looks nicer than mine, especially with the hold down clips.
7 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 3 inches tall. Pretty hefty weight wise too, since same fuse holder supports up to 400 amps, "bar" is at least an inch thick.Thanks for the reply and that is a good price in my opinion. What is the physical size of that entire fuse block?
I guess I could have saved myself the trouble of getting out the ruler, it has it listed on the specifications page (not sure about a one year warranty on a fuse):Thanks, I have paid more than $50 for a two hundred amp fuse, so indeed a very good deal.

yes, it all takes me tons of time in my solar upgrades also,,,, I found that I wished my outside off-grid insulated solar shed was bigger so that is next on the upgrade agenda....I definitely prefer this to be outside for safety reasons and air-conditioning was an upgrade but needed also for a small part of the year,,, presently the heating of the superinsulated outside solar power shed is kicking in (I run an incandescent light bulb for heating and turn on some dc led lights also as needed and keep it between 58 to 75 degrees F) as it is routinely below freezing every night and most of the day now (outside).... here in South Dakota...I am finally getting around to moving my inverter and batteries into an air conditioned shed.
I work slow so it will take me months to finish this project.
