Type 2 charging plug wall holder
prusaprinters
<p>I was inspired by the design of <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/de/social/37757-lindh3d"><strong>Lindh3D</strong></a>'s “Type 2 cable holder”. But I didn't like the idea to print it with support. Also I thought it could be improved for less material use and better mounting. So I went on to design my own version while taking ideas of different already existing prints. Here is what I came up with:</p><p> </p><p>This model consists of 3 printed parts. Then you need something with ø3 mm diameter as an axle. Anything like a wire or nail would do. Just cut it to a length of 18 mm. Fix the lever in the holder with this and make sure it is flush on both sides. Put a spring in and slide the over on top of it. Then you have to mount it to the wall to get finished.</p><p>I recommend to print everything from PETG. </p><p> </p><h5>Changes 14th March 2022: </h5><p>Added a second version of the holder with a closed back plane. </p><h3> </h3><h3>Holder</h3><p>Print the holder oriented like this:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/119498/rich_content/72571d6e-1dc0-40c9-9788-10137d3e4b2a/print-holder.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22882248f5-0efd-4aa4-a2ed-bbc3d673e862%22%2C%22w%22%3A592%2C%22h%22%3A400%7D"></figure><p><strong>Printer Setup</strong></p><p>Layer thickness: 0,2mm <br>Supports: no<br>raft: I recommend yes<br>Infill 15%<br>Weigth: about 87 gramms Filament<br>Printing time: about 9.5 h</p><p> </p><h3>Sliding cover</h3><p>Print the cover oriented like this:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/119498/rich_content/32b443b8-adad-41d2-b21b-fa4f50ffd54f/cover.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2258c8bc14-1ac7-4b82-ad6a-24c48166e087%22%2C%22w%22%3A591%2C%22h%22%3A400%7D"></figure><p><strong>Printer Setup</strong></p><p>Layer thickness: 0,2mm <br>Supports: no<br>raft: no<br>Infill: increase perimeters instead<br>Perimeters: 3 (by this you get a solid piece withouth using infill)<br>weight: about 10 gramms Filament<br>Printing time: about 1 h 45 min <br> </p><h3> </h3><h3>Lever</h3><p>Print the lever with its upper side flat on the bed. Use the structured sheet, if possible, to get a nice surface on the button.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/119498/rich_content/ae404ed6-4361-4ab3-adf6-6f6efe4ab82c/print-lever.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2213810e55-7643-4ca0-9ee5-293de0aa8364%22%2C%22w%22%3A573%2C%22h%22%3A400%7D"></figure><p><strong>Printer Setup</strong></p><p>Layer thickness: 0,2mm <br>Supports: no<br>Infill: 20%<br>Perimeters: 3<br>raft: no<br>weigth: about 5 gramms<br>printing time: about 30 min</p><p> </p><h3>Axle</h3><p>You need a piece of metal rod ø3 mm diameter. Length 18 mm. Anything like a wire or nail will do, a treaded rod is also possible. </p><p>Redrill the hole in the lever to make sure it moves easily on the axle.</p><p> </p><h3>Spring</h3><p>I had a set of springs at hand from which I used these:<br>length 20 mm; outer diameter ø7,2 mm; wire thickness 0,6 mm<br>As long as it is 15 to 20 mm long it should work. You might have to modify the hole on top of the lever to fit your spring. Although I have not tested it, I think a spring from a standard ball pen might work.<br> </p><p> </p>
