Pint charging port cover DIY

@RonZon I’d rather be able to make my own, and be able to make mine one of a kind. And the Etsy one linked above, (if it’s free shipping) costs 6$, while fI’m you buy one off of the website, you have to pay for shipping, which brings the total to about 8$, and they don’t offer free shipping for just the plug.

Here is one option: Pint Charge Port Plug

I made one with a tunnel on the cap head to allow for a small key ring. Makes for easier removal.

@LidPhones I'll have to save that till when I actually can get my board, and I wonder if I could add like an o-ring that sits in the plug to keep it extra snug in there, and more water tight.

@DashinglyHunter
Got ya! I would think adding an o-ring into a radial groove close to the cap section is possible in a design. I tend to stay away from deep standing water so it does the job for keeping debris out...

@LidPhones Yeah, I don’t plan to, and I quote, “YEET” my OneWheel into a lot of water, or big puddles. Just thought the O-Ring could be an added measure of protection.

Just tried the $1 rubber stopper and it seems to fit very snugly! If FM ever does free shipping, I'll buy a couple of their plugs, but the shipping makes me cringe for a $2 part. I'm too used to "free" Amazon shipping.

@mnk my wife suggested the plumbing end cap, and thinks you’re a genius. Hope it goes well! Float on
