Using batteries I already have to power an E-Bike kit

The battery cover print was intended to be a prototype and likely discarded. However, it fit great on the first try. Rather then reprint in silver filament I painted it with some silver high temp grill paint I had on the shelf. I wanted to stencil something on it to make it feel official. Rather than cutting stencils and painting over it I removed the paint with my fiber laser on low power to reveal the darker plastic underneath. It worked great! A maker friend recommended clear coating the whole thing which I did. This will help with durability.

The whole thing is looking "less" janky now. Some sort of enclosure for the wires and controller might be next.
