Greetings enthusiasts,
Anyone happen to have printable thruster mounts for the bue rov1 kit to mount the t200s into a vectored config?
Thanks
Jim

I’ll let you in on a secret, if you have the original BlueROV kit you already have one mount for a vectored thrust design. What I did when I designed my prototype vectored thrust ROV (see attachment) was to take the “rear vertical thruster mount” and ordered 3 more just like it from Blue Robotics. Then I took a hand drill and drilled 4 new holes so the thruster would be at 45 degrees. Then I mounted all 4 thrusters to one of the aluminum extrusions. While I was at it, I also designed a new frame that was very similar to the original BlueROV frame and had it laser cut at Pololu. Voila, new vectored thrust ROV design.
HA!, Awesome Paul, thanks. That’s exactly what I was thinking last night. Well, not exactly, but close.
I’ll let you know how it goes!

While I’m thinking about it, I may not need this frame anymore. If you’re interested let me know. I’m in NC so not far from you.
I am. How do you private message on this forum?
@Jim - I don’t think this forum supports private messaging. I posted my email address in a private message to you on another forum we both frequent (hint).
Dear paul,
If i place the thruster at 60 deg, how much change will occur in thrust , as well as in position, any idea or calculation ?
Waiting for your response…
@Muhammad, going by the assembly guide…
When your horizontal thrusters are set on 45° you get equal thrust in all four directions. When they are set on 30° you gain 25% forward/back and lose 25% on the laterals.
