Multimeter Mount for Wall Control Boards (and other boards, too)

thingiverse

This **Multimeter Mount for Wall Control Boards** is intended to hold our makerspace's set of [Crenova multimeters - model MS8233D](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KXX2OYY/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1&qty=3), so it is designed with that specific meter in mind. Having worked in edu-makerspaces for a very long time, I've always struggled to find easy ways for my students to quickly and neatly put away their multimeters when they were done with them. Getting them to remember to turn them off was the first challenge... :-) ...but then it was how to deal with the test leads. I've tried carefully wrapping them around the meter, velcro, plastic bags, plastic tubs, and more. So when school let out and I could engage in some of my [#makerspacesummerwork](https://twitter.com/hashtag/makerspacesummerwork?src=hashtag_click), I went looking for some ideas here on Thingiverse. One that immediately caught my eye was [Hassan04DD's multimeter holder](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4687473). I loved how there was a separate spot to place the metal tips of the test leads, that the section for the meter had an open front, and best of all - the cords could be "bunched up" and placed in opening that would keep them bundled without the need for something extra, like velcro. Additionally, I knew that I wanted these to be stored on a Wall Control board where students could either take the meters out of the mounts and bring them to their workstations, or just take the entire mount with them. I had tested [shopnation's Wall Control Hangers](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3583104) to see how well his attachment method worked, and it was excellent. So I went about modeling something similar for all of my [Wall Control board mounted holders](https://www.thingiverse.com/jimtiffinjr/collections/my-wall-control-mounted-holders). With those two innovative designs in mind, I went about creating a combined design of my own! I hope that others find it as useful as we do. *UPDATE 2022-06-20*: After a superb [suggestion from Hassan04DD](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5414235/comments#comment-6497824), I quickly created two more versions of this mount - one for #8 wood screws, and another with no hangers at all so that an adhesive or sticker could be used to hang the mount some where. They are available as separate downloads for those that would prefer one of those versions. Also, I updated the name of this model so as not dissuade people from considering investigating this thing just because they didn't have Wall Control boards.
