Fuse box upgrade (prototype)

[Ezz]

Thank you!
I estimate a month at least. I will have a better idea once I test the new LED and the potting material hopefully within the next week.

The one pictured above is for the early e3/e9 and has 44 spade connectors.

Oh, I see. Some rows just have 4 connectors.

Looking great, how are you doing timeline wise?

Hi john,
I will estimate mid September for the first build. then I will be testing it myself and find others to test as well.
However, to meet that date I need to order the parts to build the first few units. It would be really helpful if few people can place a pre-order so I can cover some of the material cost. any one still interested?

for the pre orders I will keep it at $150 each.

I'm in! One early e9 type fusebox please.

Is it a simple like-for-like swap, or does anything needs changing?

Really cool that you have the skill to do this all.

thank you! no modifications should be required. the goal is 100% compatibility.

Hi, so far I received only one order from @Bmachine (thank you for the support!) I would need at least two more orders to be able to start ordering the material.

Clarifications for this pre-order:
1. the $150 will be the complete fuse box cost minus the shipping.
2. your money is guaranteed to be refunded if I do not deliver the fusebox. I will set the deadline once I order the material. but I think it would be sometime in October if I get at least two more orders by next week.

if anyone else is interested and has questions, please post here or message me directly and I will be happy to answer.

thanks,
Ezz

Don't forget me!
I'll pm you for your payment details.

Considering the other option’s price (>$250 IIRC) and the amount of RnD that had to go in this, $150 is a steal. To me, just the peace of mind you get knowing you’re not at the mercy of those flimsy original fuses makes it more than worth it

Still in. Sent a PM.

A quick 3d print of the PCB holder and cover
Of course the cover will be clear.

Nice!
