Assembly hardware:
4x M3 nuts
4x M3x14 socket head screws
You can "capture" the nuts into the bottom of the print with a screw. Do this before assembly.
Notes on printing, infill:
This is a "one piece" and as such, the top is effectively a very large overhang.
I've gotten best results with manual supports
* Add support under "front lip" of meter cutout
* Add support under roof
* support KEEPOUT above the rear screw holes, otherwise the infill will fill the screw holes
* 5.5 mm pitch, snug support
See enclosed pictures showing infill and support painting
Notesd on Wiring:
(All internal wiring is done with 16 AWG speaker wire)
Open up the adapter will need special bit
REMOVE (de-solder) the 14 guage wires at the plate.
Solder 16 AWG wires in their place. Drill two holes as shown in the photog and feed them through
