Check out my latest video here "How to make your own 🔥Mood Light🔥:
• Level UP Your Home - M...
Welcome to SolipsFilm! In this video I'll show you how to make your own giant BATTERY for the Parkside series by 3D printing, spot welding (wise maple from AliExpress), grinding and soldering. You'll find the 3D files on Thingiverse down below. The batteries we'll be using for this project are not the 18650 type but it's bigger brother, the 21700 Li-ion cell. (from LG).
I'm extremely proud to present this project to all of you, and I hope to see you make the same battery as I just did. Yes, Parkside just came out with a 8Ah battery but hey, how about one that's almost double that capacity for just a fraction on top of the price? ( minus the hours of work obviously ;)
I hope I earned your subscription with this one because there's definitely more to come from me in the future. I have to do this in-between work so sometimes a video might take little while to arrive, especially one like this that took me around 8 days total to make, but my list of ideas for future video's is extending.
Hope you enjoy the video and I'd love to hear from you in the comments with ideas, tips and also feedback positive or negative, I'd love to hear it :)

Good project but not useful if you drill and screw all day,it adds too much weight. Even with normal batteries,let's say an impact drive is more than 1kg...with this pack more than 2kg. And also if it slightly increases speed to the tool it will deteriorate the bits faster and more damage to the gears. Maybe I am wrong as I don't know much about electricity

The stringy-nes of PETG can be mostly eliminated by dehydrating the filament and keeping it dry, it's a very hygroscopic filament and when it absorbs moisture it gets stringy and the resultant prints tend to be more brittle than they should be. I print a lot of stuff in PETG and have had good success with dehydrating in a regular food dehydrator at about 70C for about 8 hours, afterwards I put the filament into my dry box (plastic box with desiccant and a hygrometer) and print from the dry box directly; I get excellent results this way with very little stringing.

Just a safety tip. When removing your car battery, always remove the negative connection first, so that if your metal ratchet/wrench touches another metal part of the car, you aren't shorting the positive to ground. This is the same reason you should always connect positive first when putting the battery back in.

@@Solipsfilm what a lot of people (who have never 3d printed) dont realise is that buying and setting up a 3d printer, perfecting printing and slicing, knowing how to configure the printing parameters etc. is about 1% of 3d printing. The amount of people (I would say over 99% of 3d printer owners, including owners of high end machines) who have the 'perfect' setup but their printing is limited to printing out Pokémon off thingiverse and other similar trinkets is amazing. Actually designing things to print, popularly known as 'CAD', is the BIG stumbling block in 3d printer use, and most people who buy a printer and throw it in the garage never to be seen again after a couple of months do it because they cant use CAD. CAD for 3d printing is the same as CAD for subtractive methods (milling, drilling, lathework, etc). There are basically 'lego brick' entry level options, mostly websites but also the popular games 'Minecraft' and 'From the Depths' which have this feature, but all of them have the same problem - you are designing in blocks, so all you can print is blocky things. Above that there is fully featured CAD software such as 3dsmax, fusion360, and freecad, which pretty much requires a degree in engineering to understand. There is nothing inbetween, no 'killer apps' that allow people to progress from the lego brick tools and work thier way up to the top end CAD software.

Nice build, however triple strips on the series connection that barely take any amps and using a single strip for the parallels which take all the current is just a bit shady and will definitely lead to high temperature inside the pack as well as high losses due to heated up nickel ! Usually you reinforce the connection in the direction the current travels in this case between the series groups and not along them. Very nice project still 👌

Great project but a bit safety precaution. PETG is not a great material for cell holder - it creeps when heated (you can use PET bottles as heat shrink tubing). It means your cell holder will start squeezing the cells quite hard which is not the greatest idea (fire risk and all that stuff). Using proper materials for the job would ensure project longevity and spare you nasty surprises down the line. If I needed more temperature resistance and only had a stock Ender 3 I would chose ABS/ASA for the job. If your printer have all metal hotend and can reach higher temperatures I would stick with Glass Fiber reinforced nylon (requires hardened nozzles). It's what bodies of most power tools and batteries are made of - it's reasonably stiff and impact resistant, has a great temperature stability and should be quite printable without enclosure (haven't tried to print it yet but heard it doesn't warp as much as normal nylon which I had moderate success printing in quite cold garage ~15 *C). Don't use Carbon Fiber reinforced filaments as them might end up electrically conductive due to Carbon Fiber strands in them.

I used 3DSM for 20 years. I ALWAYS wanted to switch to blender, but with all my experience I couldn't ever make the jump. I used blender back around 2002 quite a bit. Well I got tired of Autodesks outrageous pricing. I switched to blender and its literally 100x better in every single way. Also within the first day I was pretty proficient, so it didn't take me as long to get comfortable with it as i thought it would. The only thing I like better in Max is the smoothing groups (which doesn't matter unless you're doing game design). Other than that blender 100% of the way. I switched to blender about 4 months ago. So far I've done 2 professional industrial designs in it. Its so much better. The measurements alone are worth it. I do still find myself using hotkeys from Max and it makes me wanna scream outloud haha. But mostly because I spent 20 years inside of an ancient software whenever I should have just stayed with blender all along.

The temperature sensor is typically a 10k NTC thermistor, if you damage it or it needs to be replaced. It also does not matter which way round the thermistor is soldered to the board. When I used to work with Li-ion cells I used a large ceramic tile to protect the bench from inevitable burns! Speaking of burns remove all rings / watches etc! Metal jewellery can arc and the heat from a short circuit is almost instant! Get yourself some CA glue accelerator spray too.

I also got that cheap spotwelder.. and I was very impressed with it, as its ideal for my use and I can just use LIPO packs. I use 2x 4S 2800mah in parellel.. it gives more then enough umff to spotwelderf nikkestrips up and beyound 0.2mm. I know its rated for 12v (3s) but looking at the component and the cap.. i did not see any problem why 4S lipo (16v) should not be tolerated, and it makes a huge difference in the spotwelding potency. That small spotwelder was exactly what I needed when i purchased it some years back from BG at around 12USD, and also checked it with my oscilioscope.. its enegy rating from 1E to 99E is 1 to 1 with ms, on my scope and you can also use a footpedal with its small barrel DC connector if you need, but its "automatic" weld-feature works great.. and I love it doesnt take any space and can simply just grapp some of my RC lipo packs when I need to spotweld. for the price it was a steal.. but using 4S packs in parell made a big difference in spotwelding potency. versus fx 3s packs. Great build and impressive video from such a small channel (+1).. got many Parkside tools, X20 line , and also X12, .. and sadly also a lot of the Performance BL line (the old version with 2.5A and 5A batterypacks that carried Samsung 25R cells).. and which you cant get new batteries for, as the Performance line shifted to X20 battery-hinge variant. a tacky move from Parkside, dropping the ball on all the buyers that invested in their performance line.. IMO Parkside should at least make an adapter, so they can use X20 packs and buyers not ending up with quality brushless tools you cant get batteries for. dang, that x20 gluegun just look dwarfed alongside that pack. Im using 4A X20 with the same gluegun.. and its not a bad gluegun with its price in mind.. can deliver quite a bit of hot glue in a shortwhile and ideal for certain stuff. Are you sure that 2A entry batterymanagement system are not choking that huge pack after the original 2A X20 pack current-standards.. just as when your charging it will be the slow charging speeds. wondering if you actually gonna feel the effect of that huge pack.. like one useally do when using bigger batterypacks and not just longer runtime.. going from 2A to 4A pack big difference in torque on most of my powertools.. same on the older brushless with 2.5A vs 5A..angle grinder would way easier stall on low sized packs..

Hey Hey, great video, but i have some questions: 1st i have some 16850 cells from old laptops here, is the case still usable with them? i always see peps use nickel and weld them, but yesterday i say someone using coppertape insted, do you know how good/bad it is compaired?

great work.. need this fpr Einhell 18v Batteries :D

Thanks! I wish I could make it for many other batteries, but I only have Parkside and Bosh myself.. Plus it's so much work and I can already barely find the time to work on my next project already 🙈😅

I recommend using an oscillating multi-tool for cutting plastic, you'll have more control than the angle grinder.

i flinched when you used the callipers on the cells until i realised it was plastic lol

Really cool idea. 👍 However, did you check the voltages of the batteries before paralleling them? Charges in each battery should be roughly the same so that they work perfectly.

I did check that but forgot to mention it in the video.. That's indeed important :) Tomorrow I'm putting out a little follow-up video with some updates, this one's also included 👍🏼

They should self balance when in parallel.

@@White000Crow Except that’s less safe than if you individually balanced them to the same voltage first. Also less damaging to the cells.

@@orppranator5230 You are right! but it only matters when the voltage difference is like 1 volt or more. Usually new batteries are within 0.5 volts of each other. So there is no surge current which is more than the c rating of the battery. Its more important in the series conections. What I do is. First measure all the voltages. If within 0.5 volts then i connect all of the batteries in parallell using small neodymium magnets and nickel plated strips. and leave them for like 24 hours. After that they are perfectly balanced and ready to assemble.
