What do you mean by failed successfully? How is it? Iām about to print the same thing for the same remote except with the bottom part modified to hold a second tiny accessory remote on top.
I gathered from that, that the material was not malleable enough and resulted in a structural failure upon installation.

there are a few things I can think that you can try.
slow the print down. Iāve noticed that with tpu if you print to fast then it can result in the material being pulled inward slightly with messes up the inside dimensions.
try printed the remote larger then 100% like 101% or 102% your printer might just have different tolerances than mine.
try setting the seam to random. the case does fit tight but Iāve never had one of my cases even the prototype ones just pop in one area like that. the seam is a weak point but if you set it to random then you wont have all that stress on one area.

Notice it busted off their tungsten carbide nozzle when it exploded. Those are expensive.
They also need to change their orifice because itās worn out badly.
Also they appear to maybe have turned off the abrasive flow and entered the wheel with pure water for some reason. You can tell because it didnāt leave abrasives embedded in the tail of the deck except for around the initial plunge hole.
Also I am pretty sure the deck breakage is from wheel debris and not the water blast.

Yeah they were trying to speed the wheel up without cutting it

I would have used a water-only 0.005" (125Ī¼m) orifice for that with no nozzle or abrasive
Wheel debris, or, perhaps the water weaponized the paint.
I wanna see this done to larger wheels. Think we could pop a tb110??

LoL whatās the budget? I could likely make that happenā¦
Companies donāt like risking their expensive equipment though
What is that enclosure 
Could you diy once more 
but make money this time

Oh that wasnāt it. I printed it in PLA, and it couldnāt slide in because thereās zero flex at the opening (hence the first PLA != TPU comment). So I cut the back open with a hacksaw so it would slide in.

As long as you print in TPU, itās probably fine. I printed mine out of PLA, and the entrance is a little too small to slide in, so I had to cut a slot in the back so it could flex over the remote. Still works for me, just thereās a seam at the back now.
Yeah you shouldnāt print a case in PLA ot has no protection at all. If you hit it it will just shatter.
TPU cases are almost indestructible.

Iāve had pretty good luck with PLA and impacts normally (use it for piston and plunger assemblies holding and impacting at 18kg+). Plus Iām using it more for scratch protection than any impacts, so itās fine in my case. I just forgot about the stretching that TPU can do. I just never set my printer up to print anything other than PLA since thatās all I have.

ItĀ“s very exclusive :b but if would make you one are you planning on using it with battery spacers or just the enclosure.

Hahah. It looks exclusive.
I would need just an enclosure. I already have a battery.
We can continue in private messages. Just send me dimensions and price please.
Thanks.
