Wanted to do a play on the truck nuts for my new Ford Lightning EV. Dont use wire nuts anymore, so made a them from a more modern replacement. Latest version has drainage holes and uses a through bolt. Earlier versions used a heat set insert and no drainage. Worked, but worried about its long term stability. 
This is something I threw together, and put on reddit for fun. Lots of people seem interested in it, so here it is. Its not perfect Im sure. I did want to make the version with drainage before I posted the files though.

I made an account with the manufacturer of said product because they offered a 3d Model that I could mess with. Resized and modified how I needed. I had some old heavy gauge wire from FOREVER ago (no use for it, but too nice to just throw away, and dont have a recycling center close by). This wire already had an eye crimped on one end. I simply picked up a small pack of ends from home depot (got them too big, but made it work). I designed the holes for the bolts to be off center, so that when I folded the eye end over, it would be somewhat close to the center of the square opening. Also, the reason the connectors are the size that they are is so that the diameter of the wire might actually be used in it, no other reason really.
Used a lock bolt on back side. This through bolt design should last much better than the heat set inserts I used. Made them for m5 bolts.

Used Sunlu PETG (clear, orange, and black), But I hear these connecters are starting to come out in different colors, so thats fun. Go ham.

I used 5 walls and bottom, but 15% lightning infill. Mostly because it doesnt touch the outside wall often, so I think it looks cleaner. And also because my truck is a Ford Lightning... so kinda felt obligated. Printed with some tree supports, Not sure if all of it is actually necessary, but figured why not. Made on my Snapmaker U1 in about 12 hours for both. Again, not a lot of time or thought put into it. Im sure it can be made cleaner, more transparent, designed better. I Designed it the day after I got my truck and printed the first ver the Day the filament arrived. Spent maybe 1 more post bedtime afternoon making the changes and that print finished this morning. 

Hope you all enjoy!
