Wensi's PV layer holder

thingiverse

This OpenSCAD script generates a one-piece fixture for a colleague's PV layer components, including the PV cell, PCB, and supercapacitor. Note that in versions below 0.7, parts lie below z=0, which may require adjustments before printing. Be cautious during printing, as there are 30 of these fixtures to be produced! The latest version (2.1.0) introduces a simple 2cm tall cap to cover the electronics part of the holder. Previous updates include fixing values for post placement and increasing post diameter, changing the PCB layout and size of the supercapacitor, adding infill for improved printability, and moving the entire structure above z=0 plane to prevent belt damage. To print successfully, use a raft due to poor adhesion caused by large cutouts, remove excess material, and let your colleague assemble with PV panel, PCB, and supercapacitor before presenting it to their head of department for thanks.
