yeah, you aren't going to find a welder for that price that will do aluminum

actually are you doing anything structural or just welding battery chassis?

no structural, just the battery box and mounts for the controllers, yeah

I saw aluminum brazing, so that may work

who cares, fuck around with welding irons, BUT DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON HELMET

oh, just get a stick welder then

you have 2 eyes, life isnt fun when either of them have defects

cheaper to buy at harbor freight and ^

agre

not much more expensive for a decent helmet

people do welding! amazing.

not being sarcastic but it's not exactly a

i accidently shone a class 3 laser pointer into one eye, its fucked now <:chaika:232792149874311168>

an easy thing

@cjharmer73 are you retarded?

yes

but it was accident

well it was an accident

dont blame me, it was my stupid brain

in all its apelike glory

https://www.harborfreight.com/80-amp-inverter-stick-welder-61749.html you think something like this? realistically I only need like 4 beads at least a foot long each

looks good

can you actually weld well, or is it the sort of job you dont need precision on?

I'm kind of eyeballing it. I just need to weld a plate on the bottom of the battery box, and a small mount for other electronics in the front triangle

how much welding have you done before?

I took a shop class in high school, it was mostly steel welding with a MIG, not a stick

It was a fair bit though

well buy a big packet of sticks and practice a bit, its hard to do curves, becuase metal sticks

good luck with it, try not to burn, blind or electrocute yourself

or some combination of the 3

reeee

my pi hole has come up with an interdasting discovery
