Made some covers for my power cords...

[LittleBill]

Got tired of finding some of my adapters under my jacks, or some other random heavy thing and bending them, made some covers, think they came out ok.

Nice. Never had the issue but wouldn't it have been easier to just pick up one of the $2 15amp outlet adapters and use that?

if your talking about a 30 to 15 adapter, the one i bought was 9 dollars, and would need the pins cut off. I also need 2 or 3 of these covers for all my plugs, so that would add up

If they are just for covers, who cares if the 15amp end gets damaged?

A quick look on amazon found $4 ones...don't really care if they are top of the line if they are just there to cover the prongs.

Nice work, I just keep my 40' 50 amp cable and dog bones in a 3 gallon bucket.

Hello LittleBill:
Very nice work.
You've got to be very experienced/knowledgeable in the designing, which is very good.
I am wondering what design software you use?
Just got into this 3d printing and it's interesting, but trying to learn and use the design software is quite a challenge.
I've been using Onshape (free version) and just got famaliar with making basic designs.
Thanks in advance.
Garry

Great idea. TPU would be the ideal material for this application.

yea i used it with when i did my tractor hydraulics quick disconnects, with retainers, its pretty awesome stuff.

that said the tpu i have is a bit expensive, and these are more than capable for riding in the storage bins, (and it was loaded in my printer already) so i said lets just print it!
