MPCNC Clip-On Z Tower Connection Mount

thingiverse

I am working on upgrading my MPCNC connections over to RJ45s. For the connections that require heavier wires, such as the extruder heater, I plan to utilize molex connectors instead. Since I use my MPCNC with various tools, I want as many options as possible available on the z tower for connecting to them. This clip-on device attaches to the z motor mount and offers mounting places for two RJ45s and a four-pin molex connector. It also features eight screw-down terminal points in the back for additional connection options. The frame has numerous holes all around it, making it easy to manage wire bundles using small bundle ties. There are three holes near each RJ45 mount for inserting a tool to press the catch that inserts or releases the connector. This is still a work in progress, but this version fits securely in place and is quite functional - I'm just experimenting with the size of the RJ45 holes to print directly on my printer - so I thought I'd upload it, in case anyone needs something similar. I am printing it in PLA at a .3 layer height and 25% infill. Initially, I had printed it with 10% infill but it broke while clipping it on. It requires printing with supports.
