I already run Deans on all my stuff and i like simple, so i'll probably do something like these 'deans panel mount' (once the bobcat conversion eventually starts...)

But i'm also lazy and prone to lose special adaptors for things. Normal batts have deans, charger has deans, pass-through gets deans. Same is good.

I like the way you think, sir! Thanks for the link to 3D files. I'm printing a trial part now. I REALLY liked https://1080aerial.com/products/dean...luminium-mount but, they're SOLD OUT! I would have never thought to 3D print something like that! I'm anxious for the 3D part to come off the printer, so I can try it out

I was looking at these, BUT.......I thought they look like I woul dhave problems with the wiring in the power supply breaking off.

Sounds like you're probably already settled on a route for the charge port on your dozer, but I use those DC jacks/connectors that you linked to from ebay on my builds and I really like them. They're compact and easy to wire. With cheaper ones, you do have to be a little careful when soldering on the wires or they'll melt, but not a big deal.

They're easy enough to install somewhere so they blend in. On the dozer, I put it in the air cleaner (I believe it's the air cleaner, anyway).
You can see it (kind of) in this pic:



Love your thread and builds, by the way. Makes me want to get a 3D printer.

Yes, I reluctantly settled on those, when I COULDN'T in a timely manner get the one I was trying to get. I LOVE THE IDEA for hiding it in there like you did!

Thanks for the comlpiments, but ALL the credit is due Stein for open sourcing his build STL (the file type that the 3D printer reads) files! I've taken his ideas, & added my own twist/spin/optional parts etc., to it to make it my own.
