Multimeter Back Cover/Stand

thingiverse

Get your tech on! I designed a replacement back and rear stand/cover for a widely used multi-meter. These little tools are amazing, but they don't store well because there's no cable management. I came up with a feature that wraps the cables and stores the probes neatly during storage. It also doubles as a stand to prop the unit at an optimal viewing angle while in use. IMPORTANT / PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOAD: It turns out that there are several versions of this multi-meter that all look identical and even have the same part number. I didn't realize there were different versions until I tried to adapt a second unit. The parts I originally uploaded were for the version with 5 large recessed surfaces in grip area on each side. (See attached image). I've modified the files to fit what I'm calling version 2, which has 1 large recess surface and an array of vertical lines in the grip area on each side. This unit measures 68mm x 126mm, while the original measures 73mm x 127mm. Version 2 files are designated as v2 in download files. There could very well be other discrepancies if different factories have been making these. Check dimensions to your unit and you can possibly adjust the x & y scale to fit. UPDATE 8/26/19: While my intention was to store the wires, Ipleedthe5th suggested having the access on the opposite side for less strain on the wires. It doesn't hurt to have two access holes and gives people a choice; so I've updated the stands in both versions to have two access holes for the wires.
