Fat E Pipe

thingiverse

I designed an e-pipe body that fits two 16500s in parallel. The top battery terminal connection remains a problem, so I had to MacGyver it with a couple of sheets of metal, but it works well. If you come up with a battery terminal solution, let me know please. This e-pipe is fairly large, but it packs massive horsepower with the twin 18500s and runs all day at 30W, which is where I like to vape. The divisions on my black mat are 10mm per square for reference. I will work on a twin 18350/16350 soon if I can find good enough battery cells. That will make it much smaller. I used a standard 510 connection and a MOSFET, as this is the prototype and I had one lying around, but you should be able to fit a DAN30 in there (not sure where the screen would fit, though). Printed with support in PETG with eight 3x2mm magnets to hold the lid down. I just realized that I forgot to add the source file. It has been uploaded with a change from the original STL. I moved the 510 connection five or six millimeters closer to the body to make the overall length a bit shorter. I also removed the little shelf inside and square section around the button inside, so no support would print inside to the top. Just in the neck. If you print with PLA, you probably won't need any support in the neck either. The PETG doesn't do overhang very well. The pipe body STL is the one in the picture. Pipe body Shorter stem STL is the shorter version. I am printing now. The Fusion file included is the shorter stem version. The stem is from: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:183485/#comments 2/12/16 UPDATE: Been vaping beautifully for a few weeks now. I just cut the model in half so I can print with no external support for a better finish. Also, to help with prebuilding a nice wiring harness, then just drop it in and glue it together.
