Intake Guards for Blue Robotics T100 and T200 ROV Thrusters

thingiverse

This is a weed guard designed for use with Blue Robotics T100 and T200 thrusters. The front unit mounts securely under the stock nosecone. You will need two 10mm M3 stainless cap head bolts to mount this, as the stock bolts are not long enough. The rear guard attaches firmly to my reinforced motor mount using two M3 bolts and nuts, lengths determined by your hull's specific needs. Check out http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1497003 for more details. Please note that this intake shroud will slightly reduce overall thrust and top speed. However, it is perfect for areas with high seaweed or debris that could damage the thruster, and its lower thrust is compensated by greater protection. Print Settings: * Printer Brand: LulzBot * Printer: TAZ 5 * Rafts: No * Supports: Yes * Resolution: 0.5mm nozzle * Infill: 85% or better I printed this in ABS, which uses a significant amount of support material. You'll actually print more support than the actual thing. PLA or other plastics could also work, but may lack some springiness.
