Hi! I'm Abu, Top 30 SolidWorks freelancer with 12+ years in mechanical and product design, including PETG-optimised 3D-printed enclosures, water-tight seal geometry, motorised sliding mechanisms, and 12V electromechanical component integration. I understand you need a 3D-printed PETG sliding lid for a 16-inch diameter horizontal poly water tank on a delivery truck — electrically operated on a 12V circuit, weather resistant, sealing to prevent water leakage, functional for constant daily use, and designed to allow top filling without climbing a ladder. I have designed motorised sliding and hinged access covers, weather-resistant outdoor enclosures, and PETG-compatible mechanisms where seal geometry, UV and moisture resistance, actuator integration, and daily-use durability are all critical. I understand 12V linear actuator or rack-and-pinion drive selection for this type of application. For your lid: define seal geometry for the 16" circular opening → design sliding track, lid panel, and motorised drive mechanism for 12V operation → optimise all geometry for PETG FDM printing with correct wall thickness and layer orientation for water tightness → deliver SolidWorks CAD, STEP, and STL files with a full assembly render and BOM covering all printed and off-the-shelf components including the 12V actuator. Ready to start immediately — please confirm tank wall thickness and available mounting points around the 16" opening so I can design the correct seal and track interface.

Hello ✅ Can you provide photos and measurements of the existing 16-inch tank opening, lid flange, and available mounting space for the sliding mechanism? ✅ Should the 12 V motorized system operate with a sealed linear actuator, rack-and-pinion drive, or compact geared motor with limit switches? I can design a durable PETG 3D-printed sliding lid assembly for your horizontal water tank with weather sealing, motorized 12 V operation, and daily-use reliability suitable for truck-mounted conditions. I have experience developing mechanical assemblies for outdoor equipment, including water-resistant housings, sliding mechanisms, gasketed seals, and low-voltage actuator systems optimized for fabrication and maintenance. I can also prepare printable STL/CAD files, mounting details, wiring layouts, and reinforced component geometry to improve sealing performance, reduce wear, and simplify installation on the existing tank. I would like to review the tank configuration, operating environment, and preferred opening direction so I can finalize the sliding mechanism and begin the design accurately. Best regards,

Hi, I see you are looking for a 3D-printed electric sliding lid (16-inch diameter) for a horizontal poly tank on a water delivery truck — fill from top without climbing a ladder. We have 8+ years of experience in similar projects. To achieve better results, I would suggest using a two-piece rail + carriage system with a gear rack on one side and a smooth guide on the opposite — this prevents binding from truck vibration and tank flex, which kills single-rail sliders in real-world delivery routes. What you get: Complete 3D-printable sliding lid assembly (STL/STEP) 16" diameter lid with weather seal channel Linear rail / gear rack design (left side) + guide rail (right side) Mounting bracket for small DC motor (12V, under 30 RPM) Open/close limit switch pockets built in Print orientation guide + recommended layer height What I need from you: Existing lid photos (top + underside) Wall thickness of current poly tank opening Motor preference (if any — otherwise I recommend NEMA 17 + gear) We are available to start right away. Let's discuss your truck vibration level (paved roads / dirt / both). Portfolio: ? https://www.freelancer.com/u/mahadhasan012 Thanks, PIXORA STUDIO

Hi, I went through your details and this is a mechanical product design task with both structural sealing and motion control requirements, not a standard 3D print model. I will design a motorized sliding lid system optimized for PETG, ensuring proper tolerance for repeated motion, weather exposure, and a reliable watertight seal for daily water filling operations. The mechanism will be engineered around a 12V actuation system with guided sliding geometry, reinforced load points, and a sealing interface designed to prevent leakage under vibration and outdoor conditions. The CAD will be prepared with manufacturable tolerances suitable for 3D printing and real world assembly so it can be directly tested on your existing 16 inch tank opening. What type of actuation are you planning to use, linear actuator or gear driven motor system? Best Regards, Muskan
