Pipe Plug for water sealing Doc Green ESA 1500

thingiverse

This is a plug to secure the angled pipe connected to the electronics housing. It's intentionally undersized, allowing for space between the pipe and the printed component for sealant installation. I suggest using automotive-grade sealant instead of regular silicone; Sicaflex worked well in my case. Apply sealant around the plug and insert it into the hole. Add additional sealant both around the cables and on the plug itself. When printing this part, consider using PETG or ABS filament with high-temperature resistance - avoid PLA as excessive heat from the sun may compromise its integrity. To prevent water accumulation in the pipe, drill a small hole above the top level of the printed component, positioned near the sidestand side and within the scooter's frame. This will allow any water to drain out. Sealing cable entry points is also crucial; ensure that these holes are properly sealed to prevent water ingress into the pipe system. Additionally, make sure the entire electronics housing and the cable running from the fender to the taillight are well-sealed.
