I think your development of the seals really effectively demonstrates a common problem in the modern-day engineering space and one I fall victim to all the time. When you have such speedy prototyping resources at your fingertips like 3D Printers, it can be incredibly tempting to iterate a larger assembly than you need. Especially, when you’ve had a eureka moment and are certain that this will be the final iteration which will work perfectly, for the 43rd time….
You appeared to manufacture seals for the entire assembly every time you iterated on the design. With the minimal viable product (MVP) method in mind, you could have iterated the seal on a single join (maybe a smaller diameter to save in materials) so you could fail fast and develop the design without making multiple seals and spending hours assembling the entire stilt. Once you have some confidence in your design you could push it with the worst-case join. Potentially, this is the largest diameter because this join will be subject to the highest force and has the largest sealing surface. Once you have a working design, you could start to assemble and test a larger and larger assembly until you have a wholly working part.
