The trips are not that frequent, Maybe once in 2-3 months. And I can’t afford both. I’ll see what I can do.

Hello Aneesh, good to know you liked the Acrylic box design :smiley:

This box has withstood sun, rain and wind for more than a year :+1:t2:

I have provided sufficient space in the box for enough ventilation for the pod.

Your idea of providing hinges for the front flap for maintenance ? :thinking:

Well, although i have provided mounting holes for easy removal of the pod box, in the past one year I haven’t really opened it all, not even once…

so design your box accordingly and dont over design or spend too much. :money_mouth_face:

Diwakar - Where did u get this? it looks nice.

I have attached few pics of the Dot Acrylic box with dimensions.

hope this will help future DOT owners if they require one.

you can get the Dot Acrylic box made at BVK Iyenger road, there are many manufactures who can customize it in short period of time.

Here is the address in Bangalore:

thank you :slight_smile: So, you took dimensions and they made it as per that. And, you installed it on your own with those two hooks?

Thank you @Rahul for the pic :smiley:

Were you able to hold both portable charger and helmet inside the boot? i.e. place the charger inside the helmet when you put them both in boot?

A half face helmet can be made to fit in the booth alongwith the portable charger with space for nothing else see my post below

So many questions on the Dot, installation, electricity bills. We thought we’d simplify it for everyone:

I suggest portable… listen to ur dad … he’s wiser :slight_smile:

If your budget allows, take both. If only one, then I would suggest Dot. In long term you would want convenience for something you are doing every 2 days. Dot makes it charging hassle free.

Avoid cable entry from top, instead enter the cable in U shape from the bottom. Top entry will also create a path for water / liquid due to gravity. I would recommend some Vents on the side for the hot air to escape.

Technically I totally agree with you that we need to have a drip loop :smiley: for all cables. But the box was designed after all the wiring had been installed and also for the drip loop for the plastic bellow pipes will take lot of space and also it will add up lot of box width. The box has complete opening at the bottom, so there is enough ventilation. Moreover Dot uses fan which is almost similar to at PC fan. I guess its ventilated sufficiently :smiley:

But your thoughts are good :+1:t2: future owners who wish to get a box done has to consider all the points that we discussed.

Use some silicon to seal the cable entry hole. That’s enough to prevent an liquid seeping in via that gap. Same can be done at the corners where the side/back/front plates join.
