1/96th Kilo blowing fuses at depth

[coryhenry]

Got some more work done on the FDM hull. The MSD is just about the right size. I thought I was going to have tons of room in this cylinder but the missiles...

I try to focus on one thing at a time and do a half hour stint when I can. Sometimes I get a whole day but that is rare.

[coryhenry]

great score, I have been interested in it ever since bob did his revisions

[coryhenry]

That is a great format for sharing a wreck!! It really lets you visualize where the videos take place. Thanks

[coryhenry]

That is a great game if you haven't played it!! That little puzzle was a perfect addition and surprising.

So if this is the cause I should be able to stiffen up the drivetrain mounts and relative motion and stop the friction? Fiberglass strips to stiffen?

[coryhenry]

Strange phenomenon that I can't seem to trace. The kilo runs fine on surface and 3 ft under but when it hits 5-6 ft it blows a fuse. I can't imagine...

I didn't know we couldn't share stl's. Where did you get that? Subcommittee has a place to share.

[coryhenry]

Imagine what that scale speed is!!!

Are you looking for files?

I don't know if this thread kicked something off but I got a paypal request today from Engel so it looks like they have responded.

I print in ASA which is a derivative of ABS so very stable. I print 4 perimeters so it is pretty stiff and with bulkheads is pretty nice but also light....

[coryhenry]

Great progress, One of the things that I really appreciate in the printing are all the hull penetrations and openings that are already in place.

I use Prusa Slicer and it is a great slicer, but is really tuned to Prusa printers. I have found tolerances pretty close to the model but have had to...

[coryhenry]

I have also tried to purchase but it only allows paypal and I never have a chance to actually pay even through it says the transaction is completed.

[coryhenry]

I have emailed them twice over the past three weeks and no response....

[coryhenry]

Does anyone have the plans for the Engel Gato. I have reached out to them but have not had a response. The plans I have are in really bad shape and...

[coryhenry]

I haven't gotten deep in the digital modeling side of things. If its minor scale changes I can do it in my slicer software but that is a bandaid approach....

[coryhenry]

I just had the aluminum available, but it sounds like brass is best so I will go pick some up.

[coryhenry]

Not to threadjack but can you run them wet in Salt water?
