Arkmodel 212a WTC custom Techrack

thingiverse

When I wanted to install a brushless motor, it was overlapping 5mm with the provided techrack. "Adjusting" - or cutting extra space from the rear techrack - wasn't an option because the servo mounts were in the way. So I designed a new techrack that would accommodate my specific electronics for the 212a. 20200829: I adjusted the connector/distributor to include screws (to tighten the small wtc part... Doh!). Parts in blue/grey are to be printed with either PLA, ABS, PETG, or similar materials and at least 40% fill and 4 wall thickness. Parts in red are to be printed in flexible material like TPU95 also mostly filled to make it watertight. The black part is the rubbery thing that came with the 212a. 20200824: I added a connector/distributor for the boat's functions not contained in the WTC (masts, NavLEDs, Bollards, Status LED of the ballast pump, RX antenna). I replaced the two connectors Arkmodel included with a 15pin VGA connector. In the WTC all dependent wires get soldered to a single row 15pins header which gets hooked to the male VGA connector located in the square opening Arkmodel's connectors used to go through in the front WTC lid. The wet distributor gets the black rubber casing from Arkmodel with the female VGA connector inside, the two slits then let the wires coming from the fem VGA into the distributor casing where the 15 pins get soldered on this little PCB. The distributor has eight circular openings on its side to connect to the actual systems in the wet space. These connectors can be sealed same way as the Arkmodel square one. (I'll post pictures to illustrate it all)
