Weather resistant DC motor enclosure

thingiverse

This experimental prototype enclosure houses a mini DC motor for use in harsh conditions. However, due to lack of air circulation, the motor could overheat. It remains untested for extended or extreme usage. Drill out the cap to fit the motor shaft, but note that the cap is designed to be permanently fixed; removal may damage the case. The enclosure includes two mounting options and a wire hole. Use this guide: 1) Drill the motor shaft hole, 2) install the motor and solder wires inwardly, 3) print and attach the cap, routing wires through the end-cap hole and applying silicon for water resistance, 4) apply more silicon at the wire exit and petroleum jelly to the motor shaft, then mount onto your project. Happy building!
