I needed a way to test trailer wiring without it connected to the tow vehicle.  So this is what i came up with.  Nothing revolutionary, just a box with switches to test trailer circuits using a drill battery.  PLA seems to hold up to the use, but it has started to warp the lid from heat inside my work van.  When i make another one, i am going to use ASA.

Pics are version 1, customized with my logo and a Milwaukee logo.   Files are blank, with some of the shortcomings fixed.  More screw points, sized for M3 heat inserts.  I included a lid with labels and holes, one with just holes and a blank one.  Please do share any ideas for upgrading it.

UPDATED 12/28/25 (Thanks for the suggestions.)  The box is sized for a 7/5/4 way combination plug, and a semi 7 way plug will fit as well.@BrennenBrink_4079480

The updated files give you a wider battery compartment that will fit most drill batteries, and you can find stls for most battery adapters on here.  I have also added a provision for an inline breaker to be added above the battery.

I used these switches:   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YWQWF2J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

And this voltage gauge:   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DB1M5G28?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

There are prewired 7 way plugs, but I used this one.
