Alternate mounting
11/21/2016 at 22:54 • 0 commentsI've redesign the mounting system a little bit. Now, rather than using round headed bolts that you have to epoxy into the thruster, you can now use hex headed bolts which slot into the newly designed holes. Because they're hex shaped they will no longer rotate when you're trying to attach the thruster to your frame - even if you didn't epoxy them. It's just better.
I printed a sample piece to make sure it all works, and have updated the STL.

Anti-clockwise

Mounting
11/11/2016 at 17:37 • 0 commentsMy ROV projects are based on the ServoCity aluminum beam system (see https://www.servocity.com/structural-components/channel/mini-channel). As such I have adapted the mounting system on the Thruster to match the spacing of the beams.
Two bolts are slipped into the spaces in the main housing. These are a tight fit, but if they are loose you can epoxy them in place. The bolts are then passed through the beams and bolted in place. -
