- 11/8/24 - v2 Update
- Increased the size of the ball & socket on the hinge for a stronger more reliable hinge
- Modified the design of the snap fit latch to be more secure
- Fixed a few issues in the Fusion360 sketch where I wasn't properly handling some parameter value changes.
Ever over engineer something just because it was fun?
I wanted something I could put on the end of our outboard fuel line to protect the connector that goes to the engine. We keep it disconnected in our hunting boat between uses, and we've been putting a baggie over the end with a rubber band it's a hassle.
This is a hideously overcomplicated design because I was using it to learn some techniques in Fusion360 - hinges, latching lids and fully parameterized model. This model is driven 100% by configurable User Parameters - the size of the hinges, the opening in the top for the hose, etc. This was the perfect model to practice design in Fusion360.
The STLs I've attached has internal dimensions of 43mm x 53mm x 90mm. My Mercury fuel line connector measures 23mm x 33mm so this fits over the end with ease.
I've attached my F3D file for this model as well in case anyone else is interested in learning from it. Fair warning - I do not have an engineering background and I make no claims as to being a Fusion360 expert. I'm self taught and I'm sure there are more efficient ways to design this model but this has worked for me.
I printed the cover pictured in the photo in Hatchbox Black PETG using the .20MM SPEED and Generic PETG profiles with 2 perimeters and 15% gyroid infill. Supports should not be needed.
