In honour of Tony who likes to call the arrangement of our pipes a mickey mouse…
This time, we checked and re-checked and triple checked and took the necessary precautions and —
here’s an incoming photo collage…
Thanks to Limsy’s suggestion to print out the actual dimensions on A4 sheets so we could test our dimensions and reduce waste of material and time! It took us at least 3 times to get something we finally wanted, and to think we nearly wasted 3 prints…
Here is us reusing the scrap material from the print job outline hehehe~
and after a long wait, it was finally done! and it fit snugly into the pipes! what a pleasant delight~
the next step was to test if the pumps would attach to the holder, and if it might come out of the holder
below is a snapshot of the wiring…
side track: here is Zheng Xun giving us a sneak peak into the interface of our controls!
initially, we thought that a potential concern would be that the pump would be too strong to be held by a thin metal cable tie… but alas, our fears were proven unfounded as the strength of the jet was not strong enough for such a scenario.
nor was it strong enough to move the 2.5kg bracket… which would pose a major concern to the mobility of the boat…
