underwater connector 3d model
Create a detailed 3D model of a modular underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV/THPA) hull connection mechanism, specifically a **wedge-collet (clino-cant) coupling** between two pressure-resistant aluminum cylinders. The scene shows a longitudinal cross-section (cutaway view) of the connection joint. **Left side (Nose Section):** - A cylindrical aluminum pressure hull ends with a **tapered plug (nipple)**. - The nipple has a polished outer cone (15-20 degree angle) and a single **trapezoidal locking groove** machined around its circumference. **Right side (Middle/Battery Section):** - The main aluminum hull tube contains a **split collet (clamping sleeve)** made of stainless steel or titanium. - The collet has 6-8 longitudinal slots, forming flexible fingers. Its inner face has a matching **internal ridge** that locks into the groove of the nipple. Its outer face is conical. **External Coupling Nut (Stub):** - A large hexagonal or spanner-slotted **rotating nut** (bronze or stai
