Anyone know where I can get this PLASTIC LiFePO4 cell holder ????

I clicked on the website link in the video, and my iPad went ballistic with insecure warnings...
maybe a 3dprinter?
I was thinking the same thing--it looks nice, but as shown in the video, it does nothing to hold anything together, not even snap-together connections on the pieces (which I don't think I'd trust for the job anyway). No impact protection, no moisture or debris protection--what's really the point other than to dress up the pack a little?With the exception of the nice covers, it looks mostly cosmetic.
Yes, seems simple enough, though the question of connecting them remains. You'd want to use a suitable material (PETG would be better than PLA, I'd think). Then it's just a matter of deciding on dimensions.But I bet we could 3d print cell holders on our own.
I saw a video where some guy used 30 meters of electrical tape...maybe there is some sort of strapping
If you can get any info about cover spacing and wire channels that would be nice too. The covers look pretty close to cell tops, seeing one wired up might reveal some “opportunities”.good thing is that it covers the battery terminals

From what I could see in the video, it was only securing the top of one given piece--so that, for example, the top of piece 1 can't spread open. It doesn't appear to do anything to connect piece 1 to piece 2 that I could see.and perform a secondary function of securing top of individual pieces
I dropped the presenter a note -- allen@seplos.com and asked him the same thing .. cool battery holders ... of course this would cut down on @Will Prowse use of 30 meters of electrical tape per battery quite a bit ... LOL
From what I can see, it looks like top piece snap directly over the cell terminals which in turn snaps over half of one section and half of neighboring section. Regardless, still doesn't look secure enough to hold sections together when lifting cell pack.From what I could see in the video, it was only securing the top of one given piece--so that, for example, the top of piece 1 can't spread open.

Bring on the video for lift and drop test!Regardless, still doesn't look secure enough to hold sections together when lifting cell pack.
My electrical tape jobs are still holding up to this day. Just saying ;D
I sent this video to my son that is quite good with 3-D printing, has two printers. I also sent him the spec sheet with the dimensions of the 280Ah cells from Xuba. I asked if he could work up a prototype. Let's see if he has the time (he is quite a busy guy) to design/write the code and print it out!!!
