German Type 212A 3D Print Build

[Das Boot]

Rob,
I wasn’t trying to be mean spirited. I just get interested in your projects, and sometimes you move on before they’re done, and I’ve never seen any of those videos or photos before. Again, my motivation was not meant to be anything other than encouragement. If you or anyone else here took it wrong, I offer my apologies.

Hey, good man, Casey. I know I've stepped on my Dork more than once here.

I have made several attempts to get this new cylinder leak free.





I did manage to seal up the issues on the forward end cap. I took the push rod on the rear end cap out cleaned it up, installed a new cup seal to see if this might correct that problem. Did not have success with that.

As a final and last resort, I took the push rod out again and installed a bellow over the existing bushing and push rod and sealed it all up with silicone adhesive.

After having all the issues I have had with the 300 series Easy Driver with leaks, and getting the X-Tail setup working to some degree of success, the 212 A is in the water and operational!

The turning radius is limited do to the size of the pool, and I understand that. But the boat looks good in the water and it does run! I call that a successful boat build and run for me! Now some final finish work on the sail, sand and primer, and a final paint scheme applied and I can call this boat DONE!! :-))





Thanks for all the participation and input that I have had with this build! Moving on!
