AC and DC voltmeter installation using a 3d printed bezel
Just another little addition. I found an AC Volt/Amp/Watt meter on Amazon and I had a DC volt meter I had purchased on ebay some time ago and I wanted to install them so I could keep an eye on the battery and line voltage in my RV
I knew there was no way I could cut a very clean hole to mount the meters in the wood panelling, I designed a bezel and printed it on my 3d printer. It made for a very clean installation.
The back light on the AC meter can be turned off with a button to the right of the display. I added a toggle switch to turn off the DC meter at night.
Installation was very straight up given that the breaker box / fuse panel with inches to the left of the meters.
