Just what I needed for my latest project, thanks!

Я использую их везде где нужен формат XT30

i remix it a litter bit to match my design idea , everything square.

Great work with these mounts. I used them to modernize an old toy RC Nikko Hummer H2 to use modern lipo batteries to replace the aging 20 year original 6V Ni-Cd it came with. I had to print the mounts at 105% scale and shave the molded lettering off the connectors. I’m guessing the connectors i got from eBay may not be Amass branded and/or have different tolerances than the ‘real’ ones.

@PatrickMaeger_705524 The connectors I bought from Ebay aren't branded and didn't list any dims so I think that is why they may not fit as well as yours. I'm curious if I just have an unintentionally large set of connectors if everyone else can print at 100% scale with no issue (Using Ender V3 with Cura Slicer). I may need to purchase some other XT30's to see if they fit better.

I also noticed the interior diameter was two different sizes. The bottom of the mount has a tighter interior fit than the tops. Could I ask what was the purpose is?
I initially thought it may be to allow for the wider lettering ('+' and '-' on the sides and 'XT30' on the faces) on the connector itself because if I flip the connector around it fits almost perfectly with a snug press fit. But then the connector is upside down! Was it designed more for a 'press fit' function toward the bottom of the mounts? I ended up taking all the embossed lettering off the connectors so it would fit and not leave too large of a gap which caused unwanted movement between the top of the connector and the mount when printed at 105% scale (I broke one of my connectors trying to press fit one in at 100% scale).

@KevinRosenqui_800524 I added a drawing with dimensions in milimeter, so you can check if your print fits.
The reason for the gap is that the male plug will not be pinched at the top and the female plug will fit easily. (edited)

Could you make an angled plug holder where the plug is horizontal like you have in the XT60 pack?

@ValTekArmory I just uploaded an angled and round mounting bracket. Let me know what you think.
