When working on electronics projects, there will undoubtedly come a time when you want to take your project mobile. Choosing the right battery for your project is another whole can of worms by itself, as there are many variables to consider. How high does the voltage need to be? How many amps will be pulled at once? Are there weight or size restrictions? How many W/cm³ do I need? A good bang-for-your-buck are 18650 cell based Li-Ion battery packs. The best part? You can make them yourself! You can even use scavenged cells in your DIY lithium-ion battery pack to save even more money!

The Enclosure # A 3D printer enclosure perfect for a Prusa i3 MK3S, made of powder coated sheet-metal and has a safety glass door. Even before I received my 3D printer, I was looking for an appropriate enclosure. I did that for two reasons: One being that filaments apart from PLA tend to warp outside the stable temperature environment an enclosure provides, and two being that I wanted to reduce the toxic emissions and noise of the printer.
