How do you mount your xt-90s?

3D printing in ABS (stl post 7)

That for sure. But If I can remove a bit of it by sanding the plastic part maybe it can help. I understand the tight fit but you need ti pull a lot to unplug it, at least in mine

after a light shot of sandpaper fine grain on the xt90 keyloops it goes nickel … and that it forces a little is not worse to avoid any unintentional disconnection of thevibrations on rugged terrain … IMO

I get you, I have the same problem. I tried sanding the plastic and it does word a little bit but I am not satisified enough

Thats the only reason that can push me to buy an antispark switch. They are nice but not worth it the price to me.

I drilled a hole and super glued it. As150 have plastic housings that screw the bullets, you could use the non-antispark version with housing for your mid point…

Really wanting a couple of your low profile xt90 housings for my build but, im in the UK @mmaner is there anyone my side of the pond that knocks these up or may have some already that comes to mind?

I dont know anyone over there that does 3d printing. I’d ask @bigben, see if he knows anyone.

I can print simple stuff in petg if that helps. I have black loaded now. I’ll track the file down and see how they come out.

no one’s mentioned yet but i use sugru to mount all my ports. not as clean as 3d printed brackets but…don’t need a 3d printer either.

sorry, don’t have photos.

@mmaner thanks for the reply, also thank you @bigben though im kinda thinking wouldn’t i need ABS over petg? as il be using a XT90AS power to esc’s cable rather than a loop key on a power cable so it needs to be able to take repeated use (pulls and pushes) …

@thisguyhere il be using sugru to dampen cable vibration and waterproof the said XT90 housing, hopefully

Edit i have seen the one on hobbyking i may just cut that one down to size but thought ide ask about it on here first.

How does it hold up with vibrations?

thisguyhere · September 21, 2018, 9:28pm

zero issues.

it’s “rubber” so it’s pretty compliant. and it kind of binds to whatever it’s put on.

only thing is it’s unnecessary expensive and it’s got a shelf life. i just used the last two remaining packs that were “expired” and it was noticeable grainy and kind of lumpy looking.

but now that it’s cured it seems to be the same consistency.

Thanks for the info. I’m going to give this a try on my board as I’m not overly happy with my current method. I never would have considered using SuGru, so thank you.
