Cat Punchdown Puck

thingiverse

This is a handheld punchdown puck for terminating ethernet wall jacks. I wanted one that had grips on the side for my fingers so it wouldn't slip while using so I designed this from scratch. I also made it so it supports top loading and front loading punchdowns. I took my original and then added holes for my name and favorite football team. (I know, they break my heart every year). Then I printed the logo and letters and popped them in. My first print (pictured) came out a little sloppy. I used ABS and it came off the plate around 75% of the print, luckily it did finish! Forgot to give credit to the Lions logo I used for my printhttp://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1778796 I have made others with various teams and names for friends at work. Simply make a 2-3MM hole of the logo/letter and then print the logo/letter at 99%scale to pop it in, might want to glue some that are not tight fitting. I personally prefer this method rather than having it 1 print and painting. Print Settings Printer: III3 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: .2 Infill: 85-100% Notes: You want this to be strong so I recommend a heavy infill. I have made some with PLA and they seem fine but I am using ABS for the strength. Supports are needed for the middle square and maybe the side lip depending on your printer. This is my first solo design so be gentle.
