Hi Guys.
I would like to try make my own WTC
I have a PVC pipe with 100mm inner diameter, and I want to try to use 3d printed endcaps.
I tried to design something in freecad in 3d for my printer for the first time, and I think endcaps is the perfect subject to practice on, as they are fairly simple....still a steep learing curve when starting from scratch :-)
The test turned out fine.
But.....what size O-rings should I buy for a my 100mm inner diameter tube ? And how thik do they need to be ?
And how deep should I make the groove in the WTC cap assuming it is also a perfect fit at 100mm outer diameter ?
Should I use 2 o-rings pr. endcap ?
I want to try the ater pump and bladder system, which will increase pressure in the whole WTC when taiking in water.
Can I use Viton O-rings , or only silicone ?
