Expansion Hub XT 30 support

thingiverse

This is a custom-made support bracket engineered to securely hold two adjacent XT30 connectors in place. The design caters specifically to the REV Expansion Hub or REV Control Hub, addressing their needs with precision. The bracket consists of two interlocking parts. The lower component attaches directly to the body of the hub using either strong adhesive glue or sturdy double-sided tape. It features a hex head M3 screw socket designed to receive a matching screw from the top section. A new variant of the lower part has been introduced, allowing it to be screwed onto the REV Hub's upper surface through its existing screw hole. This provides an alternative attachment method for added flexibility. The top bracket is engineered to prevent XT30 connectors from shifting or becoming dislodged. It exerts gentle pressure on the connectors via a screw embedded within the lower section. The connectors should be slightly loose, accounting for variations in length across different XT30 connector types. This innovative USB support device was conceived by FTC team Robocracy 9773.
