Description

After having my Kress 1050-1 milling motor converted to trim router with my trim router base (thing 1611593), I needed an extra power cable since the original is integrated in the gantry of my CNC table.
A Kress power cable with a special quick-action lock connector costs about 25 euros incl shipping, which is pretty expensive, so I've made the connector myself.
The quick-action lock connector is used by over 35 Kress tools

What you need:

  • This connector printed (duh..)
  • Two 6.3mm crimp automotive style connectors female (cable shoes)
  • Two M3 20mm screws with nuts
  • an redundant PC power cord
  • soldering iron
  • some hot glue

How you do it:

  • Cut of the unused connector of the power cord.
  • strip the outer mantle just far enough to be able to poke the 2 wires
    through the connector
  • crimp AND solder the wires to the cable shoes and push them back in the connector
  • use hot glue to secure the wires (and by that the cable shoes stay in place)
  • twist the outer cable a few times until the mantle reaches the strain relief
  • put the screw and bolt in and tighten

I made a version with strain relief using M3 bolt, but also have included a version
without. The latter was my first version and relies on the hot glue and your common sense :-)

I printed them upright in ABS at 0.2mm with support (which is easy to remove)
