I was getting tired of having to hold my cheap multi-meter to see the screen.
I designed this to hold it for me. I added a place for the probes to sit and an open section for small items.
I designed it so that you can slide it up and down to change the angle of the device. I left a tiny bit of the brim to make it a slight friction fit.
I did consider adding some sort of provision for wrapping up the wires, but they're so cheap I don't like to wrap them too much because they crack.
I printed it with the "bottom" flat to the build plate to eliminate the need for any supports.
I hope you like it!
Print Settings
Printer:
Elegoo Neptune 2
Rafts:
No
Supports:
No
Resolution:
Normal .15
Infill:
10
Filament:
Hatchbox PLAWhite
Notes:
I didn't see any need for supports, the overhangs are not very steep.
I did print a brim to aid in adhesion. The print is designed with a totally flat bottom with no fillets to aid adhesion. It seems to have worked pretty well.
Post-Printing
I used a razor knife and a pair of snips to remove the brim. There were no other areas that really needed help. I suppose if you really wanted it to be perfect you could sand it down and paint it. Not worth it in my opinion.
I may add some adhesive rubber feet to the bottom to keep it from sliding around... then again I might not.
How I Designed This
I used Onshape to do the basic design. I measured the dimensions of the device and left about a one half millimeter wiggle room. Then I played around with shapes until I had something that looked pretty good. I decided to add the storage on the back because I wanted to play with the shell tool. I think it turned out pretty nice.
Sliced using Elegoo's branded Cura slicer, which seems to work the best with my Neptune 2.
