GOC's 3D Printed Creations: Multimeter base station w/ storage

Multimeter Base Station w/ Storage Created By Joshua Bryant

This is another of my more highly used projects. When using a multimeter I find myself having to prop it up so that I can see the display. I also never like just laying the testing leads on the table (especially when testing amps), so I've created this handy little multimeter station. Please note that I made this station for my GB Instruments GDT-11 meter that I got from Walmart, you may need to modify the design of the stand to fit your specific meter (as always I've included IGES files). I kept these goals in mind during designing.

Design for NO support (to save material)
Convenient lead and alligator clip holder
Storage for my extra lead
Needs to be propped up at a nice readable angle

This print doesn't require any other supplies other than a 3D printer and the print files (IGES & STL files HERE [*Change orientation of parts appropriately; CSYS is not correct since this project was in an assembly]). I did glue a pad of that tacky drawer liner you'd get from the dollar store to the bottom to keep it from sliding around. Like most of my prints that I do without support I print at lower temperatures, higher speeds, and the cooling turned up a bit. This helps the material set up a little faster preventing some of the 'drooping' effect on the overhangs.
