Amass XT-30 dual panel mount

prusaprinters

This is a panel mount for a pair of Amass XT-30 connectors. I needed a way to mount one male and one female XT30 to a panel for use in a large power bank, one for charging the internal battery, one for supplying power to external devices. I've included versions for one male and one female, two male, and two female. The genders specified refer to the pins of the conector themselves, not the overall shape of the connector. The female connector is what you'd find on a battery, the male is what you'd find on a charger. They're designed for a 3/4" (~19mm) panel cutout. For my printer, I had to scale the body to 101%, and the nut to 103%, to have them fit properly. These are designed to be a tight press fit - I had to use significant force to seat the connectors. I added a small amount of CA glue afterwards to prevent any future movement, but I doubt it's necessary, especially for the male connectors due to their large surface area. No need for rafts or supports, but I did print with a brim just because I always print everything with a brim. Edit: I just got a fresh set of XT30 connectors and they're just a bit larger in their outside dimensions than the ones I had before (~5.2mm thick, where the others were more like ~5.1mm). So I tweaked and re-exported all three gender options with 0.1mm larger holes. Pick the ones with "5.2" in the end of the name if you need them. Print Settings Printer: Cetus Mk2 Standard, heavily modified Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.1mm layer height, 0.35mm extrusion width Infill: ~20% Filament: Priline PETG black Notes: To get good resolution on the threads, and have reasonable print times (~58 minutes for the housing, ~25 minutes for the nut), I run extra extrusion width - it helps with overhangs, and increases the volumetric flow rate.
