I was wondering the same thing, I've never added any metal to a print. Might be a matter of drilling and epoxy but you would want to get the metal bonded into the infill. Would want to load test them, might be more important than being water tight.
Just downloaded the file on thingiverse and see that the line runs through the plug and you tie in a swivel and hook of your choice.
Yup just like pulling the pin on a bought plug.
Very nice.
I will once I get back to them.
Have a chance to try one of these out yet?
Unfortunately no, my time on the water this year has been very limited.
Is that the SeaMo plug from cults/thingiverse?
Awesome. Have you had any success with it? Any water intrusion? I may update the stl to have a longer flange for a better seal when gluing the 2 parts together.
print it out of ABS and do a decent infill for strength at depth. I would also say clear coat it when done just to help seal it overall
The model the OP printed is a 2 piece and meant to be glued together, with 100% infill since I modeled the thickness into it. I posted the model on Thingiverse a few years ago, but it was only this past weekend I tried an FDM printed version since I designed it for resin printers originally. Turns out I had no idea PLA itself is porous, ha. So yea, I ordered some KBS diamond for waterproofing.
