My waterproof MT-60 connector works perfectly.
Everything is tight and no water comes out.
There is water in the balloon and after two days nothing has come through.
I printed the prototypes in PLA and the seal in TPU.
The first final version made from ASA-CF.
Now the connection is optimized a little and reduced in size!
Everything looks so good. I hope you share the stl files for those mt-60 waterproof connectors. Id love to upgrade my tow boogies with those connectors.
Unfortunately the puller for the steel shaft doesn’t work. The pressure part is broken because the shaft is seated too tightly in the rotor. Simply mount the rotor underneath and drive out the shaft with a hammer blow!
I can also upload the 3D printing sleeves for casting the engine.
However, I would only do it with foil like I did with my second engine.
It’s much easier and cleaner.
@Jesserosco:
Thank you.
I will finalize the waterproof connector at the weekend and then publish it on my printables.
For the water test, I created special pressure parts to check the tightness. I tested with water in the balloon, with air in the balloon and the pressure part under water.
Right, so you are testing the same printed config+material on a different dedicated for testing part.
Probably you used a setup for waterproofing - like higher temperature, thicker lines, higher temperature?
