I needed some place to put my 2019 Kia Niro 120v charger. mickeshobby had a good design but it was for mounting on the wall. I took that and modified it to be able to be mounted on the 3in pole in the middle of my garage. I also took and modified Levi8than's J1772 connector thing so that the cord doesn't just dangle on the floor as well.

I used 3 U-Bolts to connect the components together and to the pole. The ones I used are Everbilt 3/8 in. x 3-7/16 in. 4-9/16 in. Coarse Zinc-Plated #334 U-Bolt. I got them from Home Depot. The bolts will easily slide into the Pole Mount parts. They will be a tight fit for the the other half of the parts. This is by design.

Assembly Instructions

  1. Print one (1) each of Brick Top, Brick Bottom, and Cord-Plug Pole Holder.
  2. Print two (2) of the Pole Mount.
  3. Print one (1) of the Cord-Plug Pole Mount.
  4. Place the Pole Mount component against the pole and slide a U-Bolt in from behind, wrapping around the pole.
  5. Place the metal plate (if included) on the front of the printed component over the bolt.
  6. Place the matching mounting component (Top, Bottom, or Holder) on the U-Bolt. This will be a tight fit. Just get it enough over on both sides so that the nuts can pull it the rest of the way.
  7. Screw the nuts on each side. Use a 9/16" open ended wrench to tighten the nuts. Be sure to only tighten each slide a little at a time to keep the mount centered and intact. The alignment block in each pole mount will help with keeping things in place.
  8. Repeat for the other two mounts. Make sure to leave enough space for the charging brick to slide into place.
  9. Place charging brick and plug it in. You are done.

Print instructions

I printed these with Inland PLA+ Blue filament at 20% infill and 2mm thick shells. Any filament should work as long as you account for shrinkage.
