MSC - Mobile Solar Case

Simple parts to build up a solar case based on 2 solar panels. I used 2 x 100w solar panels in black (looks sexy) from Münchensolar 980mm x 540mm x 35mm. The total weight of this version is nearly 12kg. I use it in my Camper to get more energy out of the sun and to be more flexible if the camper is parked in shadow and now the sun is reaching the rooftop solar panels. Also usable as a mobile balcony power plant.

I used PETG - for some parts, you have to print incl. supporters. Some parts like the Mountingblocks have to print multiple. When you start the project you will develop a fast understanding of how it works and what parts you need in which volume. Please adapt it for your panel size (e.g. smaller panels only need 2 hinges & 1 lock)

Be part of the green energy revolution - wish you a lot of fun by printing and building it!
