Touchplate Holder

Post by KevinO »

Season's Greetings!
In keeping with the season, I'd like to offer the forum a 3D file I created (no copyright issues here) of a holder for the touchplate.
As seen in the pictures, it has mounting holes for attaching to a convenient spot near the control box.
I had already broken one connecting cable by continually disconnecting it from the touchplate for storage, but with this holder there is no need to disconnect. Just place it in the holder, ready for use the next time.
If you have a 3D printer, you can print it directly from the .stl file, or you can use a printing service such as http://www.i.materialise.com. It's made from polished white Polyamide. When I ordered, it cost $28 including shipping.
You could also split the model and make in on the Shark as two pieces glued together, but I took the lazy man's way.
Hope you find it as useful as I have!
Kevin

You're welcome gtrsnook. I'm curious to hear if anyone else who downloaded my touchplate holder successfully printed it.
