Parkside Spindlelock PABS 18-2 Adapter (to Einhell PXC 18V)

prusaprinters

<p>This is a machine-battery adapter for a Parkside drill that originally used 18V Ni-Cd batteries and is now able to mount 18V Li-Ion batteries (in this case Einhell Power-X-Change). The drill works perfectly with the new batteries, even though it smells a bit, which is probably caused by the higher voltage of Li-Ion batteries (especially when fully charged). Warning: This might destroy your machine over time…or it just works and smells a bit.</p><p>Extra stuff you need:</p><ul><li>some wiring and a soldering station</li><li>male connectors for the Einhell mount (e.g. <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000104101344.html">https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000104101344.html</a> )</li><li>some metal sheets for the Parkside adapter (cut &amp; reuse the original ones)</li><li>some (hot) glue to glue the contacts into the adapters</li><li>some screws to fit the two parts together (I used M4)</li></ul><p>Pay attention to fit the metal sheets perfectly into the slots, as the connectors of the drill will reach all the way to the bottom part of these slots.</p><p>The Einhell mount is a remix <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2830821">this one</a>, fixing some dimensions, sharp edges, and it was adapted to fit well with the Parkside one.</p><h4>Post-Printing</h4><ol><li>Break support structures apart</li><li>Drill some holes to the drill to screw the adapter to the drill.</li></ol><p>&nbsp;</p>
