Leaking Sealand toilet
pwhittle replied to 1nolaguy's topic in Interior & Exterior Care & Renovations
Here is an original Dometic valve. https://marinesan.com/water-valve-kit/ Paul -
I have printed some things off Thingiverse, to include the stubby M18 blower nozzle above. Most things I model with a pair of digital calipers in OpenSCAD, a free 3D design software. Then I use Cura, another free application, to convert the model into the commands for the 3D printer taking into account the printer capabilities, the material being used, and about 100 other options.

Great idea Scotty, I uploaded the step cover cushion block to the new section. All, If you want something that is uploaded to that section, you can download the .stl file and print it yourself, or submit it to a commercial site for printing. If you decide to ask a friend to print it, remember that they have expenses in setting up their systems to be able to print, and then the cost of consumables to include the filament to print it, the print surfaces, and the time to run and monitor the print.

Another member asked if I could print the support for the step cover and sent me a picture of his failed piece. Our 2005 Signature had the same part, and it was broken the same way as the other member’s, so I modeled the replacement, but printed it in 100% infill ABS to improve the design and make it more durable. Non-Monaco, but a couple of parts I printed for friends. This is for the tail light sequencer for a 60’s Shelby Mustang a friend is restoring. It holds the circuit board and hangs in the trunk. It is dimensionally the same, but the design with the small clips to hold the two halves together was not durable in the original design, and is not in my replacement. I had to print each half in two pieces and glue them together due to overhangs. A friend has a Palatov D2 sports car and runs PIAA LED headlights, and wanted a nacelle to clean up the rear of the flat backed lights. I also was able to print in two colors for the replacement Aladdin joystick faceplates. Paul

Glad to get your Opus running again! Life is a happier place with a working toilet. Paul -
Kit to replace Intec mirror mounted side cameras
pwhittle replied to pwhittle's topic in Audio, Video, & Electronics
Hi Daryl, Not that I am aware of, but I would call Valvec and talk to them. I suspect there is a connection in the arm as well as in the generator bay behind the mirror. Paul -

Replace Opus 3110 with Thedford Aria Deluxe II

Hi Patrick, A new control board is in its way to Russell! Paul -

I print pretty much everything in ABS now. Longest print I have done is 35 hrs. It was for a stubby nozzle for an Milwaukee M18 blower. Great for blowing off the motorhome or a car after washing it. The Opus controller boards take about 8 hours each. Ignore the hairspray. Haven’t used that since I started using PEI print beds. I have started printing in two colors, starting with the Aladdin joystick faceplate. I also printed a couple of cup holders to hold my 20 oz Yeti next to the dash when driving. I don’t have a picture of it right now.

I'll start new thread to discuss 3D Printing so we do not derail this one.

I recommend that you do extensive research outside this forum as there are many 3D printers available at many price points with different capabilities. I bought a 3D printer to print the cases for the Magnum/Sealand/Dometic Opus replacement controller. I chose the Creality Ender 3 as it was cheap and there was a lot of community support for it. The Ender 3 is known as a 3D printer that you need to spend time on to be able to print well. I did spend a lot of time getting to the point where I can print whatever I want, and it was a very steep learning curve.

Awning rubber seal needs replacement.

Yes. The water runs on top of the slide, then down onto the floor. Paul -
Captain Chair electrical connector
pwhittle replied to powersltc's topic in Interior & Exterior Care & Renovations
Most connectors on Monaco’s are TE/AMP Mate-N-Lok connectors. Post a picture of it and we can try to identify the part number. Paul -
Aren’t there replacement control boards available? Paul

Centramatic balancers for 2005 Signature?
pwhittle replied to pwhittle's topic in Chassis, Handling, Tires & Brakes
One reason I am using them is so the tire company can come to my house and fit new tires. They can’t balance on site, so the Centramatics take care of the balance. Paul -
Centramatic balancers for 2005 Signature?
pwhittle replied to pwhittle's topic in Chassis, Handling, Tires & Brakes
@Mocephus ordered and installed the same part numbers Centramatics gave me. I ordered them from Florida Shores Truck Center. About $100 less than Centramatics and free shipping. I’ll update the thread when we fit them. Paul -
Centramatic balancers for 2005 Signature?
pwhittle replied to pwhittle's topic in Chassis, Handling, Tires & Brakes
I also called Centramatic (800-523-8473 - Mike Hagar). His recommendation was 700-720 for the Steers and 600-640 for the Drive and Tag. -
Intellitec Support - CPU and Keypad backups and restores
pwhittle replied to pwhittle's topic in Audio, Video, & Electronics
Hi All, Sorry for not completing this. My job has been keeping me very busy and I have just not had enough time to complete this project to be ready to sell the Intellitec programmers with the necessary instructions and support to make it easy to do yourself. We are planning to be at the Gathering in February 2022, and will be available to make backups of your Intellitec CPU, which is the most important thing to have done. Backing up the keypads takes a lot longer and the keypads are fairly easy to program from scratch, unlike the main CPU which could take a lot of time to recreate. I will be available to do that too, but it will take more time. Anyone that has used me to create the backup will also get free programming in the future if you need it for a CPU or a keypad. Paul -
I did not attach any of the isolator inputs. On boats this is often used to protect the electronics when cranking the engine. There are not as many sensitive electronics on a motorhome Paul
