I had one of the boxes split when I riveted the receptacle to the side. After that, I increased the strength and increased the rivet hole. It was the holes near the opening (where the lid/cover goes) that were the problem.
I need to learn/edit specific layers for this strength rather than apply over the entire object.
When Tracker ships a 19’ or a 17.5 aluminum boat, it comes with a $50 depth finder. Well, these guys want the $3000 fishfinder, and this plate covers the holes and old screw holes that Tracker put in the dashboard. The large dept-finder mounted on a large plastic ball that would mount on this plate. It’s ABS and tough as hell. On the first try, I got some white residue on the face but figured out I needed to let it cool first.
With the golf cart conversion my son-in-law has done, he wanted me to make a metal plate to fill the void of the old charging port. I made one but it did not fit quite right. Now that I have the 3D printer, I could make a perfect patch but just haven’t got a “Round2It.”
It doesn’t take long to figure out all the creative solutions this device afford you. Crazy, wonderful thing.
