Veteran Sherman OG+Max Trolley Water Cover

thingiverse

Veteran Sherman is overall a pretty water resistant wheel which makes it decent for riding in the rain, however one major weak-point is the trolley handle where water will flow directly down into the battery compartment. The only way to remedy this has been various DIY solutions to cover the trolley handle with a piece of tape, a rain-cover or something similar which will keep water out, that is why I had this idea to design something that solves the problem a bit more permanently so you don't have to carry with, stop and fiddle around with a DIY solution when rain hits. The idea with this trolley handle cover is for it to sit on the trolley handle more or less permanently, it will sit in place if not removed and will not impair the normal operation of the handle and hopefully offer substantial protection against rain-water. I even put some cute rain clouds on the sides of it to make it's purpose clear as water, isn't that great? Installation Tip: You can put a piece of tape beneath where the seal clasps the handle to make it say in place even better and overall give a nicer feel when you use the trolley. Trolley Operation: V2 of the seal has a tighter fit against the shell for better waterproofing and will now require some gentle force on the side of the trolley while pressing the button to pop the trolley handle up into trolley position. Update 2022-07-19: I finally got to test the seal in heavy rain at high speed, it worked pretty well but not perfect, a few drops got into the middle of the handle (not directly into the tubes going down into the battery compartment but there's always that risk) which was decent but I think it can be better. So I have updated the design to prevent that from happening, the seal now has a tighter fit against the shell but a tradeoff because of that is that it will be a bit more difficult to pop the trolley handle up, to pop it up with the updated version you can gently put some force on the side of the trolley handle while holding down the button and then it will come up.
