In the heater compartment of the 🚑 we have 2 holes from the old heater install.

At the moment they're just covered with duct tape to keep water from getting in, but I finally got around to modeling a custom hole plug for them.

It'll print in this orientation in flexible filament, then get flipped over, shoved into the hole, and glued in place.

If anyone's got suggestions for glue that'll stick well to rough brushed aluminum I'd love to hear them.

a purple cylinder with two flanges? i think. coming out from it.

the central column is 32mm.

the bottom flange is 52mm in diameter, 2mm thick, and has a chamfer on the bottom edge. The central column then continues up for 3mm before encountering a chamfer that goes out 1mm before angling back in and meeting the top of the plug.

that'd make sense if you could touch it. ;)

I would guess one of those two components epoxy glues would do the thing, however a check that it sticks to the filament may be of order as plastics sometimes is a bit tricky.
Oh and clean the aluminum with alcohol before gluing.

🤔 hmm. don't think i have any epoxy, but that's easy enough to remedy.

thanks for the tip about the alcohol.
