Fischertechnik wire supports.

Fischertechnik wire supports. With many designs you have a lot of wires. To combine them together I made a series of wire supports that are 7.5mm wide. The internal diameters are: 5, 7, 9 and 11mm. I also made some adapted pins to mount the supports on all possible FT blocks.





The pins are printed on the wide side at the bottom, the .stl file has to be rotated in the print software. I use PolyMaker PolyMax filament at 210°, no support needed. Print speed is 60mm/sec.

Hello Frans,
another nice design and a welcome alternative to the Reedkontakt-Halter (35969). I find that cables have a tendency to slip through the straight gap when using the Reedkontakt-Halter. So, as an idea, you could consider making the gap diagonal to prevent cables from slipping, as I did in this design.

Happy new year
Jan

dt.: Mit einem diagonalen Spalt wären Kabel noch sicherer vor dem Rausrutschen gesichert.

Thanks Jan!

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll adjust the opening.

Happy new year,
Frans.

Update on Thingiverse:
Wire supports with an angled opening.

Thanks Peter!
No, there's not a lot of partying going on here. I have to live on a strict diet, heavy partying is out of the question. I always go to sleep early. I usually have new ideas in the morning. They're developed at night. But this change was given by Jan.

Frans.
