Description
This is a "easy to reverse" mod for cocraft GT18 string trimmer, sold in Clas ohlson stores. GPlatek has created a great mount for makita batteries, there is absolutely zero play in that mount. My mount is attached to that using M4 bolts and nylock nuts.
Just desolder the original battery connector and use the connector from mojo_replica. I used old PSU metal chassis, that is exactly 0.8mm.
Installation:
-open the screws of the handle, remove old battery mount.
-attach new battery mount and route the wires through.
-solder the wires to makita battery connector.
I used simple PLA for this, 60% infill. Seems to be just enough.

update 14/9/2018. After a dry summer i got to use the trimmer on our lawn 5 or more times. We have quite large lawn, about 6000m2 of cut grass area where i used this. The slices of metal cut from PSU chassis didnt get warm at all although i ran a battery almost empty on one run. Everything works really fine.
