This may sound like a couple dumb questions, but I'm trying to learn a bit. Do you weld with the lid of the Pelican case open? Do the components inside warm up much while welding, even on quick jobs?

Do I smell a Patent around the corner?
The only heat generated would be from the little 540 sized drive motor on the drive wheels and then from the circuit board. Since all of those were previously enclosed in the original RW, I don't see and issue and I have further isolated the heat source from welding with the longer lead.

The small amount of welding I did caused no temperature rise. I guess that means you could weld with the lid closed. I did leave an option for a small cooling fan in the event it was needed.

If there were considerations of a patent, it would not be posted here.
