Part list
Important note: The following part list is for a single pump. In order to build a fast surfboard, you
need to use two pumps in pair mounted next to each other.
Parts needed for assembly
Stainless steel screws with hex socket cap head: 4x M5x80
6x M5x20
2x M5x10
Screws to mount your motor, 12mm length
12x M5 brass threaded insert
8mm stainless steel rod, 220mm is used
6mm aluminium or brass pipe as a watercooling nipple
2x stainless steel or ceramic bearing; OD=22mm, ID=8mm, width=7mm
2x rubber O-ring; OD=14mm, ID=8mm, thickness=3mm
Motor shaft coupler with 8mm hole on one side, other side to match your electric motor. Has
to be strong, flexible couplers meant for 3D printers might break. Maximum OD=35mm,
maximum length=40mm.
Silicone tube for watercooling
Electronics
Motor: 5692 size watercooled
brushless electric motor (56mm
diameter, 92mm length) or bigger.
Maximum possible diameter is 90mm.
The motor can be mounted using the
integrated motor mount with
mounting pattern as described in the
picture. KV value should be low,
unloaded RPM (multiplied volts*kv)
should not exceed 20000. So if you
run the setup on 12S (about 45 volts),
you should use around 400kv motor.
ESC: I suggest using at least 200A
watercooled ESC. If your motor KV is
high, even more powerful ESC is necessary.
Tools needed for assembly
Soldering iron
Allen keys
Sandpaper
Tools to cut and file the driveshaft
Epoxy glue
Recommended print settings
0.4mm nozzle
0.2mm layer height
0.45mm extrusion width
6 perimeters
7 top and bottom layers
20% infill
Only use supports for impellers
The pump was tested printed in PLA. For more strength, use polycarbonate. If your motor is
heating up a lot, do not use PLA for the motor mount to prevent melting.
Other materials might also work, but ABS or PETG might be too flexible for the impellers.
All STL files are by default oriented in the way they should be printed
Assembly
1. Post processing. If your printed parts have a fat first layer, cut it off. Sanding improves
performance of the impellers, but is not important on other parts.
2. Use soldering iron to push 12 threaded inserts into the Housing (all of them go into this part).
6 of them go into the face laying on the print bed. 4 hold the motor mount. 1 in the grease
port, 1 holds the bearing cap.
3. Cut the driveshaft and file flat spots on it as shown in the drawing:
