Snap-fit copper-tab covers

Mechanical pack work on Sunrider, the car that ran the 2024 American Solar Challenge.

Sunrider pack before and after the covers

Problem

Sunrider’s pack had a lot of exposed copper on the module tabs. The covers had to be removable, printable, and stay clear of the lid seal and existing fasteners.

What I designed

Printed in PLA/PETG. The car completed 1,465.8 miles in ASC 2024.
