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
- Print one (1) each of Brick Top, Brick Bottom, and Cord-Plug Pole Holder.
- Print two (2) of the Pole Mount.
- Print one (1) of the Cord-Plug Pole Mount.
- Place the Pole Mount component against the pole and slide a U-Bolt in from behind, wrapping around the pole.
- Place the metal plate (if included) on the front of the printed component over the bolt.
- 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.
- 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.
- Repeat for the other two mounts. Make sure to leave enough space for the charging brick to slide into place.
- 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.
