VESC BLDC Case

thingiverse

Hi, This is a case design tailored specifically to house the VESC BLDC brushless motor controller for electric longboards, an open-source ESC created by Vedder, available at http://vedder.se/2015/01/vesc-open-source-esc/. There are two versions of this case: one designed for use with a single VESC, and another that includes space for an Arduino nano to be installed. The latter is particularly useful when utilizing the UART remote feature, which can be learned more about at http://rollinggecko.github.io/ArduBoardControler/, as well as on Endless Sphere's forums at https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=73812. I designed this case using a 0.4mm nozzle and a layer height of 0.2mm. The PCB is held securely in place by the same screws that fasten the case shut, with M3 screws fitting perfectly into their designated holes. The photo included shows where to position a 2200 µF capacitor for optimal performance. For future updates and new developments related to this project, please follow the Berlin Custom Boards Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/berlincustomboards/. ChangeLog: - The top covers of both versions were redesigned for added durability. - Rounded corners are now used on screw leads to prevent them from snapping off.
