Charger port fix for OneWheel GT

Apparently the 3 pins on the charger port are only held in place by some white caulk, as many have experienced these pins can get pushed back such that the board doesn't charge, as they no longer mate with the charger plug.

1) clean out all the caulk/glue that has failed, be careful NOT to short any of the pins if using a metal object

2) add new silicone caulk/glue around the base of the pins, just a thin coating

3) add new silicone caulk/glue around the outside rim of the plastic circle which holds them together

4) push the pins back into place, some rotation may needed to get them in

5) while holding the pins with your finger, connect your charge cord (un-powered) into the charge port

6) push the wedge in place, the W should be facing out the same way as the wires go, ensure the wedge sits flat and doesn't protrude above the top edge of the battery casing, try both sizes of wedge

7) remove the charge cord and insert again to ensure the pins are in the correct orientation, if too tight consider using the other wedge

8) check the wedge is still flat and doesn't protrude above the top edge of the battery casing

9) be happy that you can charge your OneWheel and never have to worry about this issue again!

This wedge does not require any glue, when the top of the battery casing is put back on it should be locked in place, but a small amount of caulk/glue/construction adhesive wont hurt.  The "W" on the printed wedge marks the side that should face towards the wires exiting the connector.

The o-ring gasket on the battery casing cover would benefit from some o-ring/silicone grease (NOT caulk) but use sparingly, do NOT attempt to fill the channel with it, only a very light coating of the gasket is needed.

Print with PETG, 3 wall (for strength) no supports needed.
