Re: Rov Reboot (3d Printed)
Looks great! I was going to make nice locking housings like that for the pump motors before I switched to brushless. You could do the acetone vapor treatment to smooth and harden them. It works pretty well. Your design would be good for STEM students to build too that have access to 3D printers.

Re: Rov Reboot (3d Printed)
hi Steve, progress looking good!
i had a request if you would be able to post the design .stl file for the duct/mount you created. I have a demo for my rov at a local marine science center coming up and would like to include your 3d printed duct/mount as example of what can be done with 3d printing. I have a 750 gph johnson bilge pump cartridge and 50mm prop on the way, could you also say what prop mounting hardware you used and your source. BTW I print using a Orion delta with T-Glase, any pointers for printing your duct/mount would be appreciated.
Thanks much

oceanrov31, give me a day or so to tweak some things on the Kort Nozzle Mount and I will post the stl. The adapters I use are custom machined, the specs are Shown Here.

Some fitment may still be required but it should be close. If it's a tight fit do not force the pump into the mount or the thin side walls may crack a little sanding with 80 grit sand paper is all it might need. Uses 6/32" Nuts and bolts for mounting.
I printed mine in ABS using Elmer's purple glue stick for bed adhesion.
Settings
.20mm layer height
80% Infill
3 Top and Bottom Solid Layers
2 Outline/Perimeter Shells
(need to know anything else just ask)
Let me know how it comes out for you.

Re: Rov Reboot (3d Printed)
Next time you print one, can you post a picture of it fresh off the printer. i'd like to see the supports, how it looks before you clean it up.

Re: Rov Reboot (3d Printed)
thanks sthone
will print this evening, though the first one will probably be will lower infill since ive got to be gone all day tomorrow and i need it for this weekend.
I print slower with t-glase to avoid glitches so it takes longer. Thanks again for the file , will def post pic.
