Pretty sure a buttplug fits snuggly in there
But seriously, you could use pretty much anything you want as long as you don’t go for jbweld steel version (it has steel powder in it)
I’d be putting a sweet sticker on the outside and filling the inside of the hole with epoxy
Clean the hole well with alcohol. Put a tiny ring of epoxy around the hole on the inside edge, 1-2mm tall. Wait >8 hours. Put a tiny bit more epoxy on top of that ring, and stick a circle of fishpaper or paperboard to it. Wait >8 hours. Flip it over so the outside of the enclosure points to the sky. Fill the hole with epoxy level with the enclosure. Wait >8 hours. Put a ring of epoxy around the hole 1-2mm and dome the wet epoxy to a smooth dome. Wait >30 hours. Enjoy.
Another question. I see many people running sensorless because they fear sensors throwing faults and hence causing crashes. I really like the smooth startup and would like to keep it. How often do people experience problems with sensors and should I really consider switching?
I would use that version. JB Weld Original Steel 8265-S
Yes, it has steel powder in it. Do not use it inside motors. Ever. However, it doesn’t seem to conduct electricity at all. Only magnetism. Use it all you want outside the motors
I’ve had a weird instance where I repaired my wife’s car. There was a hole next to the left tail light. I ended up a week later getting a shock when I touched it. Static? Moisture? No idea why. I ended up dismantling the light fixture and wrapping every wire I could find (2 seemed like the plastic had been rubbing)
So I’ll stick to not taking any chances
I havent touched my motors in a week since I started the build and all of a sudden it has this rattling noise at full throttle. Has anyone had this rattling noise before?
I also recommend unsensored for other reasons, but this results in needing to kick-push once as it won’t start from a stop (but even at 0.1km/h it’s fine) in BLDC mode.
