I'm working on a housing for my camera dome that I *think* will work, at least up to the 100' depth I'm hoping to go to.

Does anyone know where I can find a set of plans for a pressure vessel that will help me test this at that pressure? I think that would be about 4 atmospheres or 60psi.


Have you had any luck with your project? I've got a 3d printer on the way and have been working on designing some parts for my ROV.
So far so good. I've got thruster props made on the 3D printer and I'm working on some other stuff like brackets and nozzles.

I had a to take a break around the holidays when the project fund dried up, but it should be replenished by this weekend, then I'll get the motor controllers I've been wanting to get so I can test some more.-- Still working on the magnetic coupler design, once I get that worked out I'll finish the hull and finalize the design.

I know how the project funds thing goes. Getting some things going on mine finally.

Hello. Whether maintain the printed case shaped parts high pressure?
