A pair of battery box shells takes around 8 mins to laser and around 5 mins to glue up (so 13mins to make a pair up...
It actually all holds together solid without any glue. Pretty much snap fixes.
The MSE, takes slightly longer to laser as Hips has a low melting point, so less power, more speed but multiple passes (around 7)
Once lasered, probably around 30mins, it's a case it taping it up and applying solvent.
It's designed to all line up nice and square, so it's not really a case of speed (though it is quicker) it's more how precise the build is v speed it can be achieved. But 40 mins from start of laser to gluing up is a ball park figure.
The lip isn't shown but it's lasered at the same time, along with a lid support frame that goes inside the shell.
