No more winding up a dirty and heavy cable by hand!
IMPORTANT: The model is currently optimized for a 13mm thick 7m long Type 2 16A/11kW charging cable. Exact model: see BOM!
There is also a version for a 17mm cable!
Instructions:
Print 2x both halves of the rollers
Glue the halves together, e.g. with Uhu Plast Special model building glue
Press bearings into both sides of the roller (best on workbench, bearings facing down, press the roller on top. Press fit!)
Print roller holder
Insert the printed sleeve with a 6x36mm skate axle (see BOM) between the rounded parts of one bracket (stabilizing stop)
Print fixation and ball
Securely attach the UBB rail (see BOM) to the garage wall
The rest of the assembly takes place with the charging cable directly on the rail, make sure that the cable is mounted correctly!
Mount the inner part of the fixation in the rear part of the rail
Hold the charging cable in position and slide the outer part of the fixation in
Secure with a 6x36mm skate axle (see BOM) inserted from the side
Slide the weight roller holder over the weight's handle, insert the cable and then secure the roller with an 8x36mm skate axle (see BOM)
Mount the upper roller holder at the very front of the UBB rail
Hold the cable up (or tie it up) and mount the roller with an 8x40mm skate axle, use another washer on the axle screw on the outside!
Attach the ball to the cable with four M5x30 screws so that the weight hangs just above the ground or, if desired, just touches the ground (cable relief)
2x Axle 8x40mm, ~11€ (for 10 pieces) Drenky Connecting screws M6 10 pieces socket head screws M6 x 40mm furniture screws stainless steel A2 V2A https://amzn.eu/d/9iRXA8k → I am still looking for a better alternative here, the axles are only 7.75mm, so the wheel wobbles a bit!
Great model, very nice fit of all parts and nice BOM to make recreating it easy :)
Just went creative with the weight - I think most people would find something fitting in their garage to make use of.
There is one thing I still don't understand.
The BOM states:
"2x 8x40mm axles, ~11€ (for 10 pieces) Drenky connecting screws M6 10 pieces M6 x 40mm sleeve screws furniture screws stainless steel A2 V2A, the axles only have 7.75mm, so the wheel wobbles a bit!"
The link leads to M6.
Do I need M6 or M8 now?
Thank you!
