Intro
Recently I purchased a kit to turn my regular bike into an electric bike. It came with a hub-style motor, 1000W controller, a throttle, and a battery. To secure the controller onto the bike frame, the kit came with a bag, which worked, but it was kind of… not visually appealing and didn’t really allow for neat wire management. The photo below shows what my bike looked like with the bag mount. To solve these problems, I decided to 3D print a case that would allow for neater wire management and an overall cleaner design. I ended up designing a 4 part case that used screws and brass heat-set inserts to secure everything together. It also had anchors for zip-ties to keep cables neatly stowed away.
Work
This project ended up being a great test of my recently upgraded CoreXY 3D Printer. Up until this point, I had only ever printed relatively small parts. I was happy to see that all of the case parts (each taking around 8-10 hours to print) printed successfully. I think the final product came out pretty well, and I really like the overall look of the bike.
