USB Battery mount for longboard

thingiverse

This is a mount designed to fit underneath the deck of my electric longboard (Ionboard X) to hold a single cell USB L-ion battery. You can use this battery for various reasons including an emergency phone charger or to power extras on your board. Once I get my battery in the mail, I will post pictures of the completed build. The purpose of my battery is to power a RGB LED light strip that I have attached to the bottom of my board and the strip is spec'd to run off of USB power. I plan on printing this in black ABS, but I do not currently have access to my 3D printer. However, I will be able to update this with pictures after I print it. The light strip, which I have attached to my board that the battery is supposed to power, is very inexpensive and can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075VQZZP1/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The USB battery I have ordered is extremely inexpensive and should arrive mid to late May. I went off of the online dimensions of these batteries to make this mount, while it should fit them well, I will test it out and adjust the mount if these dimensions are off. The battery can be found here: https://www.wish.com/c/563f6f4eeb0e8a162127924f?hide_login_modal=true&from_ad=goog_shopping&_display_country_code=US&_force_currency_code=USD&pid=googleadwords_int&c=%7BcampaignId%7D&ad_cid=563f6f4eeb0e8a162127924f&ad_cc=US&ad_curr=USD&ad_price=1.00&gclid=CjwKCAjwt5DXBRAtEiwAa3vyEru5-axAF93rp0wn_uYe-zxfrdDZStHIvfUsAoaEFtq1y4micTrlzBoCjnIQAvD_BwE This mount is designed to mount on the interior side of either the front or rear trucks of your longboard, and is very low profile. With the board upside-down, mounting order is as follows to fit this piece: - 1/4 or 1/2 inch rubber riser pad - Longboard or skateboard truck - Optional: thin rubber washer (will reduce mount vibration) - 3D Printed mount - Optional: thin rubber washer (will reduce mount vibration) - Optional: Metal washer (separate rubber from nut) - Nut You may need to get longer versions of your truck screws to fit everything, which is not really a big deal.
