Electric Fence insulator for Tractor-Supply Utility posts
Description
PDFTractor Supply sells lots of fence posting for creating welded-wire fences (for around animal enclosures). So we needed to make a new fence for our goats. One of whom keeps going over the fence, so we needed to add an electric fence to the top. The problem is the "utility posts" that tractor supply sells (green steel extrusions) do not have a corresponding insulator for stringing the electric fence (or at least ours didn't). So here you go. Prints without supports (the little catch should be on top). As always I have included the STEP file if you wish to modify it for your fencing.
it is made for this fence post:

Notes:
You should probably print this is in some durable outdoor capable plastic (ABS/ASA or PC) But I just did it in PLA (it will fail in a couple of years, but so what). You should of course print it in a bright color (yellow is pretty standard or orange) to hint to people nearby that the fence is electrified!
