This model uses a torsion spring to automatically cap an exposed XT-60 connector when disconnected. Use the following spring or similar: https://www.mcmaster.com/9271K875/ Put two 90 degree bends in the spring and clip the ends as needed (see pictures). Assemble with No. 0-80 screws and nuts (or 1.5 mm). It may require a little sanding to get a smooth action with the parts because of the small size. Use 1/16" drill bit to round out the hole if you have difficulty getting the screw in. Printed solid ABS and salt annealed. Currently the model is connected to the connector with tape which works fine for prototyping. Final assembly is planned to be with super glue or similar.
