waterproof casing #23

Open garudaonekh opened 2 years ago

garudaonekh commented 2 years ago

hi, what is the recommended method to make it usable outdoor?

pesor commented 2 years ago

I do two things.

First I spray the modules with and isolation and protection enamel/polish, in order to avoid corrotion.

I use the Teslanol for this.

Second I seal the case where the module sticks out, I use silicone, which is made for aquariums, and then I put some on where the plug is on the casing, as it can make a small opening. I use a finger with a little silicone, and smear it on.

It is easy to take apart again, if needed, for a new battery etc.

I think a 1" pvc pipe is the cheapest solution but the problem is the bottom part. it is difficult to protect the part that stick out

Look at a previous issue, there is a link to my 3D print of cases.

You will find my cases here.

Use those with the Cplug in the name.
