Sweet stackable XT60 panel and plug mounts

thingiverse

I needed some plugs for a panel box and opted for XT60 connectors from my R/C toys instead of bulky plugs. You can install the XT60 male or female end as required. I fabricated flat panel mounts and plug housings that can stack seamlessly. This results in a solid-feeling plug setup. To assemble this, you will need: Two M3x10mm bolts (I used socket heads; it's what I had on hand) and two M3 locknuts for the plug mount. A panel mount holder requires two M3x10mm bolts and two M3 locknuts to secure the XT60. For the panel mount backing, use two M3x10mm + your bulkhead thickness (for instance, 10mm+3mm bulkhead =15mm bolt) bolts and two M3 locknuts. If stacking them, allow 10mm for each housing; three stacked fittings require a 30mm bolt. There are two plug mount files available. One has arrows pointing inward, while the other has arrows pointing outward, serving as a reminder of POWER IN or SIGNAL OUT, etc. Feel free to experiment! Printer Settings: MakerGear M2 No Rafts No Supports Minimum .20mm layers 20-30% Infill Notes: Two perimeters printed in PLA. This will be a tight fit, so ensure your machine is well-maintained. My XT60s fitted perfectly with no modifications and remained locked in place when closed. The print settings worked well at .20mm, requiring only a light chamfer pass around the locknut holding areas with an x-acto to facilitate easy insertion. Remember not to overtighten these bolts; just snug them, okay?
