+## Water skirt and drainage 
+
+My plan for water profing the motor and providing a gravity based drainage is to create a sloped rubber base for box with a rasied skirt. 
+
+The skirt will go between the motor and the plate lip thus stopping any water for getting into the motor. 
+
+I started with a fusion design 
+
+![](../projects/Plate/waterskirt.jpg)
+
+Added the drainage slopes 
+
+![](../projects/Plate/waterskirt2.jpg)
+
+Unfortuntaly my prusa is too small to print the whole things at one so I had to cut it to be printed in parts 
+
+![](../projects/Plate/waterskirt3.jpg)
+
+![](../projects/Plate/waterskirt4.jpg)
+
+Printing in TPU is slow if you do not want stringing It is a 23 hour print !!
+
+![](../projects/Plate/waterskirt5.jpg)
+
+Here it is in progress
+
+
+![](../projects/Plate/waterskirt6.jpg)
+
+Fully printed
+
+![](../projects/Plate/waterskirt61.jpg)
+
+
+Printing went well but remove the print from the plate was nearly impossible and ended up destrying the plate. 
+
+This did not happen to me in smaller prints I did but after going back and reviewing the Prusa [materials guide](https://help.prusa3d.com/materials#_ga=2.250429327.883239654.1684193727-1420350994.1684193726) as well as reading some user form it seems that I missed the need to either 
+1) Add a layer of glue stick 
+2) Put down blue tape the print on
