The 775 has worked wonders for our team’s shooting mechanism, but we noticed the wire connections were quite vulnerable (prone to bending) and because they were placed on a moving part we worried about breaking them in competition. I couldn’t seem to find anything to guard the motor connections, so to fix this I created a 3d printed shield to guard them and wanted to share it with anyone else who could make use of it!
This is definitely something we’re interested in! I’m concerned that the part looks like it closes off the 4 rear vent holes on the very back of the 775. Is this actually the case (no pun intended)?
This is awesome! I’m so grateful that you shared the file. We might use this if the EkoCycle can print them well. Are you soldering the wires onto the terminals or using a connector? I guess the connectors might not fit into the case.
Firstly, I’d like to thank you for sharing this fantastic design. Secondly, we need to make the grooves for the terminals a little wider in order to fit over our solder joints and it would be greatly appreciated if you could share the file as a Step or some other format that is more modification friendly than stl.
We have been using a similar 775 cover for a couple of years. It has some compliance to the fit and clamps on with a clamping screw. Ventilation holes provide for cooling. There is room for standard spade terminals, and the wire exit hole can be turned to whatever orientation is best.
I appreciate seeing a more official version of this… Team 2619 has been utilizing cut pieces of PVC tubing that slide over the motor to protect our wires…
My apologies for the poor photo quality, this was the best angle I could find.
