Are the ZombieInverter PCB dimensions available? I'll be ordering one soon and would like to print my own enclosure. Of course I can take measurements once I have the board in hand, but I'd like to use official specs if possible.
Buying a $50 box with a 56-pin connector when only 16(for Leaf at least) will be used doesn't seem like the best way to go. I'll post the print files here and Thingiverse once created. Thanks!

Ah... you are obviously inexperienced with car conversions. Connector is there for you to gain experience and use additional fuinctions later when applicable. Together with casing it was designed to withstand terrible vibration and moisture changes that the car enviroment is.loudboy10 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 16, 2026 11:38 pm Are the ZombieInverter PCB dimensions available?

I warmly suggest you use the board with connector and casing that was designed for it.
You have been warned.

EDIT: if you can get a plastic 56pin case option for this would be really optimal to go with 56pin connector that can be get on Aliexpress as well...

Re: PCB Dimensions for 3D printed enclosure?
I regularly print my own enclosures; I would rather not buy something I don't need.
Thank you for the reply, but while I have not converted a car to electric, I have plenty of other car/robot/electronics builds under my belt. 40 spare pins is excessive.arber333 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 17, 2026 4:48 pm Ah... you are obviously inexperienced with car conversions.

Why don't you develop your own stm32 board then? Minus 40pins... Software would still apply...loudboy10 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 18, 2026 2:28 am I regularly print my own enclosures; I would rather not buy something I don't need.
