I finished my first battery build after watching many videos and reading through this forum. 280AH cells that are compressed with the plywood and all thread method. Overkill Solar bms. Looking for some feedback on how I assembled it. Thanks! I set this up for for my RV.

Nice job. One minor thing I would do is make sure that the one set of BMS wires are not touching metal in the first pic. Shaking around a lot may wear through the insulation.
 
Copper lugs on main terminals. There will be galvanic corrosion (nickel or tin plated are better). Did you apply a grease to prevent it?
Separator plate is a good thing between the cells.
BMS is touching the cell? BMS can heat up ... and so heat up the cells.
Did you do a proper top balance?
Fuses ?

Not a bad build. I like the case :)
