Non leather project #13 (Battery holder, led dimmer)
This project is to fabricate a battery (12 Volt) holder and mount a led dimmer control module with foot on/off switch.
Main objective was to make a simple belt to strap a portable 12 volt battery on a board.
Cut a small board to be use as base for battery holder.
Two small strip of leather is added, to provide a spacing lift-up to support battery base cover.
Two webbing straps is to add as fix point for the elastic strap to provide support with button.
Base on this battery size and length the webbing strap is decided . The webbing end should be able to wrap the battery body.
Once the position is confirm on webbing strap. Use a stapler gun machine attach webbing strap to board
This is give a better support and act a stress relief to support battery module.
Apply glue to both the small leather strip and board.
Use a lighter to heat the edge of both cut webbing strap and elastic strap.
This is one method to minimize the cut edge from fraying.
Important to ensure the lighter flame is not too high, a smaller flame is easier to control amount of heat to melt the plastic material. Another way to control heat to material is to move your lighter try not stay long at one position.
Punch hole on webbing strap and place VT2 button.
Use correct punch hole size for VT2 button.
This is to show both elastic strap.
Left item is the bottom view.
Right item is the top view, note the white dot mark to punch hole for VT2 button.
See the spacing between the webbing strap (VT2 button) and elastic strap dot marking.
This how the webbing strap and elastic strap are mounted.
Do take note the elastic strap have added small leather to better support when stapler it to base.
This is to display how the battery is mounted. The leather flap is to make it easier to button up and un button.
Mount a dimmer module next to battery.
Done project.
