After having my Kress 1050-1 milling motor converted to trim router with my trim router base (thing 1611593), I needed an extra power cable since the original is integrated in the gantry of my CNC table.
A Kress power cable with a special quick-action lock connector costs about 25 euros incl shipping, which is pretty expensive, so I've made the connector myself.
The quick-action lock connector is used by over 35 Kress tools
What you need:
- This connector printed (duh..)
- Two 6.3mm crimp automotive style connectors female (cable shoes)
- Two M3 20mm screws with nuts
- an redundant PC power cord
- soldering iron
- some hot glue
How you do it:
- Cut of the unused connector of the power cord.
- strip the outer mantle just far enough to be able to poke the 2 wires
through the connector
- crimp AND solder the wires to the cable shoes and push them back in the connector
- use hot glue to secure the wires (and by that the cable shoes stay in place)
- twist the outer cable a few times until the mantle reaches the strain relief
- put the screw and bolt in and tighten
I made a version with strain relief using M3 bolt, but also have included a version
without. The latter was my first version and relies on the hot glue and your common sense :-)
I printed them upright in ABS at 0.2mm with support (which is easy to remove)
