Intake Guards for Blue Robotics T100 and T200 ROV Thrusters

prusaprinters

<p>This is a weed guard for use with Blue Robotics T100 and T200 thrusters. The front unit mounts under the stock nosecone. You will need two 10mm M3 stainless cap head bolts to mount this, the stock bolts are not long enough. The rear guard mounts to my reinforced motor mount using two M3 bolts and nuts, lengths to be determined based off your hull needs. <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1497003">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1497003</a></p> <p>Please note that this intake shroud will reduce your overall thrust and top speed slightly. It is intended for use in areas where there is a high amount of seaweed or other debris that could foul the thruster, and the lower thrust is offset by the greater protection.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Unassociated tags: blue robotics</p> <h3>Category: Robotics Summary</h3> <p>This is a weed guard for use with Blue Robotics T100 and T200 thrusters.
