Anderson/Powerpole wall plate

thingiverse

From the same people who brought you HamStudy.org, this is a customizable wall plate for anderson/powerpole connectors. You can make it handle as many as will fit on the single-gang plate. For the retaining pin to hold the connectors in I use a 12AWG solid wire; usually a scrap of the copper ground wire from a romex 2+1. stick it through and then bend it at the top and bottom a bit and it works great. IN ADDITION! This thing is crazy customizable; you can do a lot more with it if you play with it a bit. See some of the photos for examples. Things to try: Disable the screw holes by setting plate_screw_shank to 0 Make it all a flat plate by setting plate_depth and plate_thickness the same; optionally disable rounded corners by setting plate_corners to 0 Turn it into a panel mount powerpole block by: setting the depth and thickness to 1 or 2 decreasing screw_distance decreasing plate_width and plate_height to what you want set plate_border to 0 (optional, but may help in some cases to let it be smaller) Just about everything is customizable, allowing up to 3 boxes and whatever configuration in each of those boxes you want. I used it to create a wall plate to handle 2 3 pin connectors which I use for 24Vdc in my ham radio communications trailer, but you can do whatever you want with it. This is licensed non-commercial.

Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: TAZ 5 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: Just about anything Infill: Infill is less important than the wall width; do that kinda thick-ish (I did 2mm) Notes: Really this is pretty easy to print; the settings you use just determine how it will look and how strong it will be when you're done. I use thicker walls to help prevent delamination, but that's me.
