B23E 8 pole firewall male connector

thingiverse

This is an 8 pole male connector replica for the Volvo B23E engine that is found on the firewall. This connector houses multiple sensor cables for the intake, starter and alternator etc... There are 2 files, one for the connector housing and one for the cap which secures the cables in place. Start with pulling each cable through the corresponding hole in the cap then attach the cap to the connector housing with each cable in its separate chamber. This is modeled after the connector found on the 1984 Volvo 4 door sedan with the B23E engine. I would not be surprised if this fits other B2x & B2xx engines as well as other Volvo chassis from the same era. As you can see I didn't add the two "clip in ears" on the sides of the connector as my print fit snuggly. You can always add a zip-tie if your print would be a bit loose or a bad fit. I printed this in PLA with 0.2mm layer height & a 0.4mm nozzle and it works fine, no need for a more durable material in my case.
