Cover Your (FDA) Can!

__My other Foil Drive printable parts:__ + [FDA Board Cable Guide](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6123146) + [FDA Mast Cable Guide](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6113051) __Print Instructions__ Typical print options should work: 20% infill, no adhesion, no supports. Overhangs are 45 degrees or steeper (Prop Cover only), so no supports should be needed. Also, consider drilling a few air holes (see additional notes on this below). __Description__ Protect your FDA motor and propeller assembly with these 3 covers. (Clean and dry your system first, as recommended in this [Foil Drive video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-qJfGfAZ98).) Keep the dust and dirt out. Protect your propeller from falls and drops. + The FDAPropCover protects your propeller from dings, falls, etc. Align the 4 "pads" at the mouth of the cover to slide past the blades. The pads should provide a reasonable friction fit on the hub shoulders (though I wouldn't go carrying it around by the cover alone). + The FDACanLid protects the other end of your propeller can. Slide it on to to keep dirt and dust out when your pod is disassembled. It should provide a similar friction fit. + The FDAMotorCover (orange part in photos) will similarly protect your motor while it is disassembled. __IMPORTANT__ The last thing we want to do is trap moisture in the motor with these covers causing your FDA to rust. Clean and let your motor parts air dry fully before covering. You may even want to drill a few small air holes. I will consider adding a v2 with printed air holes in the future.
