<p><strong>[DESCRIPTION]</strong></p><p>This model is a battery adapter : from battery parkside x20 team sold by Lidl to any Makita tool using 18v battery.</p><p>It is an remake from Myle's work (see : <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3110392">thingiverse.com/thing:3110392</a>).<br>Thickness differs from original model between Makita side and Parkside side : it is bigger to fit Makita chainsaw (DUC353Z) slots. Note : this can be customized to your needs using parameter in included Fusion 360 file.</p><p><strong>[INSTRUCTIONS]</strong></p><p>Connect sockets on Parkside side (polarities are shown on model).<br><strong>Important : Connect + to first and second pin</strong> on Makita side (required for battery level) either tool will not start.&nbsp;</p><p>Nickel strips are good to make this kind of connection instead of using wires: use glue to hold your connectors in place. Test continuity with multimeter, then use hot glue pistol to keep all together and avoid shorting.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Be carefull </strong>: current can be huge, you need to adapt cable and connectors sections depending of the current drawn. For medium current you can use folded nickel strips.&nbsp;<br>For higher current (chainsaw is a good example here), you better use cutted copper plate with proper thickness with high temperature epoxy. If you don't, hot glue will melt and nickel acts as a heating resistor and your adapter is … a toaster.</p><p><strong>[PRINT]</strong></p><p>Supports everywhere.<br>Print from any side, bottom is better to remove supports.<br>Default Prusa draft mode is ok<br>Giving good result with giroid filling 10% at 150% speed on mk3s+.</p>
