Hi everyone,
I’m based in New Zealand and have been working on building some small ROV components. I’ve got access to a lathe and I’m starting to design pressure housings.
Before I go too far, I wanted to ask—what are the biggest challenges you’ve had with pressure housings or sealing?
I’m currently thinking about things like O-ring sealing and possibly a bayonet-style end cap, but still very early stage and open to learning.
Also curious what sort of depth ratings people actually need in practice for small ROVs?
Appreciate any advice or things to watch out for ![]()
