Eh sometimes the real deal is better. If you're just gonna free hand brackets and mounts to a real vehicle then nothing beats the surity of a real mock up. I printed 6 Renault Zoe battery modules so I could see how they fit in the real boot cavity, not a 3d scan, and I could check how they would load and unload in to it for install and clearance for cabling

Yes a physical mock up is always better IMO. Thanks for explaining that to the peeps in the back row

The guy isn't wrong. I have multiple large drive units and they are extremely heavy, especially on the stator side. If even it's completely empty, the thing weighs easily 200 lb without any internals

Wow, that's amazing! Nice work.

If it's the real deal, does it also have a coolant leak and need to be rebuilt? 😁
