Step 7Making the camera housing
Step 7:
(making the camera housing)
---To ensure that the camera wouldn't get wet i had to make a waterproof case and i decided to make it 'very' waterproof, so it could withstand the high pressure of deeper dives. (not that this first model would do that, but atleast i could reuse the case later on).
The design i made myself, but researched some general info on the internet.
---The main section of pipe seen in earlier pictures needed a lid for the back and a plexiglass 'window'in the front.
So i used a pvc pipe lid with a bit of plexiglass with drilled bolt holes stuck to the lid with epoxy.I also smeared sillicone glue around the borders between the PVC lid and the plexiglass to make sure they couldn't separate.(as seen in second pic)
---I then cut some strong bolts i needed to keep the lid, pipe, and the plexiglass window together to the right length.
---The whole case is made waterproof by the bolts pushing the plexiglass surfaces against the washers at both ends of the pipe.
