The result looks really sleek ! Is it a Blender rendering ?
Just kidding, pictures are awesome. Printed parts: is it “normal” wet application with a brush or infusion ?
Looking forward to your first tests
Amazing work. Guys, do you know where to get this propeller for 3D printing? (who uses Riwi here) I’d like to try it.
please send a link. thank you very much Lukáš Zajacz, Czech republic.
Remember the mast to board connector? It’s been doing one hell of a good job until now. The main purpose is to make the efoil easier to transport, by separating mast from board. It has, or had, three connectors for the phases to the motor and a pipe for the cooling water to the esc.
It’s been running dry since April but eventually water found its way in to the phases and mixed with the current going to the motor it generated enough heat to melt the 3D printed petg.
Luckily there was no damage to motor or esc.
working on a quick and dirty solution now to get back in the water.
Update on the connectors between mast and board. Thank you @gobbla for the initial idea. These are for tx150 connectors with 10 awg cables. Prints are made in the material TPU, very impresed by its strength and flexibility.
There are two different designs, one that uses a lipseal to waterproof around the 10awg wire. the other one does not use a lipseal and needs to be machined, drilled, for a thight fit with the 10 awg. Silicone grease is used to ensure a waterproof seal.
I’ve used both on my setup and there has been no water on the xt150’s after riding.
I think that using TPU is a must in order to get it waterproof.
I use a silicone hose, 12mm od, 8mm id, between the two parts.
