Flex ThruHole Gasket for Wiring Loom

thingiverse

A custom gasket designed for off-road expedition trucks that requires a flexible solution to prevent electrical cables from chafing on plywood, particularly in applications where wiring needs to be run between the power center and the house battery. This gasket is specifically engineered to fit 3/4 inch (17.6 mm) plywood with a precisely sized 1 1/8 inch (28.575 mm) hole that perfectly accommodates a 1 inch (25 mm) corrugated plastic sleeve for effortless wiring installation. A key component of the off-grid power center, this gasket plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth cable management and preventing damage to electrical cables, thereby maintaining the integrity of the entire system. For optimal results, it's essential to select flexible filament that can maintain its shape under stress, allowing for a snug fit within the 1 1/8 inch hole. With nGen Flex, for example, a slightly larger hole may be required, such as 1 1/4 inch, resulting in a more relaxed fit. However, using a highly flexible filament and adhering to the recommended hole size will yield a secure and efficient connection.
