BOTBOTY | A Relaxing Side Project

Yeah, i use brush-on silicone conformal coating for PCBs. The stuff cures kinda soft, which is probably just fine for immobilizing wires, ut nit for protecting magnets. I’ve never used the acrylic conformal coating before, so idk what the hardness is. Probably still fine for the windings.

The stuff is extremely similar to clear nail polish. So similar, in fact, that you could probably use it :eyes:

though the purpose-made stuff is probably better

You think 419D would be as good as the red stuff for stator hardening?

No. I’ve used both. That red 4228A is good

Can’t speak for the acrylic, but the varnish wicked itself into all of the wires and started to solidify after a couple of minutes, it’s pretty good for the application.

Last of the supplies came in today, so the legstick is finished and installed. ESC and enclosure ports are the next step.

If I ever need a lean-actuated throttle, I can hit you up right? I probably don’t actually need one but I’d love to tell all my friends that I have a guy for that.

I think the design is settled enough that these things can be commissioned.
