Customizable threaded scupper plugs

thingiverse

UPDATE 26DEC2015: I replace the .scad file with version 1.7, which includes several updates. A GoPro connector from thingiverse has been hacked in. Top and bottom bevel options are now available, with "scoop" bottom style experimental for future use in water jet drive propulsion system. UPDATE 25DEC2015: I update the .scad file to version 1.4, which adds a fishing pole holder option. UPDATE 24DEC2015: I replace the .scad file with version 1.3, where variable names have changed and more options are available for improvements made. My goal is to create threaded scupper plugs for my Pelican Boost 100 kayak. I want to keep my butt dry and potentially use scupper holes as a mount point for attachments like a GoPro camera, electric motor, fishing rod or paddle holder. Status: This project is still in progress. Files may change and/or be added. This is my first attempt at using the thingiverse customizer. Running anything other than low default detail may cause customizer script to time out. I recommend running this in openSCAD for final rendering at high detail before exporting to .stl and printing. Plugs that will work for front scupper holes of my Pelican Boost 100 kayak can be recreated using the following variables: Scuppers_bolt__Pelican_B100_front_top.stl plug_length = 32; plug_detail = 360; thread_detail = 8; top_diameter = 26; top_style = "bolt"; top_thread_length = 15; top_thread_diameter = 22; top_thread_pitch = 4; bottom_diameter = 38; bottom_style = "slot"; slot_size = 2; Scuppers_nut_Pelican_B100_front_bottom.stl plug_length = 26; plug_detail = 360; thread_detail = 8; top_diameter = 26; top_style = "nut"; top_thread_length = 16; top_thread_diameter = 22.5; top_thread_pitch = 4; bottom_diameter = 38; bottom_style = "slot"; slot_size = 2; Note: I have found that it is best to add about .5 to the thread diameter of bolt to create a matching nut. You may need to adjust this for your printer/plastic/temperature. The pole holder uses the nut above and can be recreated with: Pelican_front_pole_holder.stl plug_length = 33; plug_detail = 360; thread_detail = 8; top_diameter = 39; top_style = "pole_holder"; bottom_diameter = 26; bottom_style = "bolt"; bottom_thread_length = 15; bottom_thread_diameter = 22; bottom_thread_pitch = 4; Rear plugs that self tread in rear holes of Pelican Boost 100 kayak can be recreated with: Pelican_rear_top_bolt.stl plug_length = 32; plug_detail = 360; thread_detail = 8; top_diameter = 23; top_style = "bolt"; top_thread_length = 15; top_thread_diameter = 22.5; top_thread_pitch = 5; Print Settings: Printer Brand: Robo 3D Printer: R1 ABS + PLA Model Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: Medium .2mm Infill: 10% to 20% Note: I have not test printed hook scupper end yet, but you will need supports for that. You will also need supports for the pole holder base. Other parts can be printed without supports.
