E46 EV conversion started

Our local transport department allow EV conversion to be registered properly for road use. So since I still have the E46 with broken engine, it is the perfect platform for this project. And as I know from years back when starting the project for the E30. The bell housing for the gearbox is the same. I spent the new year break preparing for engine removal.

As of now, the plan is to mate the gearbox with Hyper 9 motor. I’ll keep this blog updated.

Tantillus build – Part 3, dry run

Controller board used for the Tantillus is the Anet board taken from my Anet A8. It is paired with Raspberry Pi Zero W running Octoprint for wireless access.

Right now, more parts are due to arrive like the printing platform and Bowden tube. Next I would need to decide whether to use an internal power supply or external power brick.
