Here is the load bank so far. The heat sink is drilled and tapped. Went M3 on the fasteners. The entire project will be M3x10x.5.
The connector is a castle creation 6mm EC style connector. I have the current sensor wired up to the load bank. I have yet to get thermal grease. Not sure if in really even need it. I washed the heat sink after tapping it. I took off the resistors washed it in hot water. Arts bed the resistors and the heat transfered to the resistors really quick.
Now u have to build the container which will be lexan since I have that already on hand. I have drafted out the pieces on paper to actual size.
Next I need some kind of cutting tool for this. I have I have a router, a circular saw and access to a table saw. I am thinking of rough cutting with the circular saw and trim cutting with the router. That should net me some smooth edges.
That's it for now. More later.
