EV Charge Cable Protector - Garage Door

thingiverse

Stop garage door from smashing EV charge cable. Made for Tesla Mobile charge cable of approx. 13mm diameter. Should work with cable up to 15mm as opening is 16mm wide. Its 22mm tall and 35mm wide and matches my garage door at 55mm thick. There's extra room at top if you wanted to slice a few mm off top and would still work.I personally bought a new garage door seal that was taller/thicker(VEVOR Garage Door Seal $30). I cut the new seal short at one end and glued this to the concrete on that same end of garage door. Also adjusted garage door opener to not close as far so new seal wouldn't smash all the way down and engage safety mechanism and come back up automatically when hitting this block. Cable passes through nicely. Made this because we wanted our EV charge plug to be able to charge outside or inside. Having receptacle inside offered more security and didn't need to have unsightly 50A plug on front of house. Most people just let the door smash the cable but something about letting a metal door smash a 32amp cable didn't sit right with me. Amazon versions of this were 10-50 dollars so made this instead.
