There were a couple things I didn't like about the original design. I found the walls of the gland threads had unusably thin sections which broke under minimal force. I reinforced the thread section of the mount, made space to fit an assembled microfit cable through, and cut free the cladding that was blocking access to the connector latch. Before my changes you had to pass the wires through without the contacts being inserted into the microfit housing, then assemble the cable, then attach the cable to the EBB36, then attach the EBB36 to the mount. Now you can mount the board, and just stick the whole cable through, and tighten the PG7 gland firmly without having the mount break, as well as detach the cable without having to detach the board from the mount.  

(I currently don't have a reliable printer so the only print I was able to finish failed a few layers before the end, which is why the pictures look weird. Updated photos will be added once my printers are back up and running.)

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

  1. Free access to microfit connector latch for easy removal of cable
  2. Reinforced threads for better strength under load
  3. Microfit 2x2 connector housing fits through
