OK, our handle broke on the case for the Trimble S6, so, another 3D model.?ÿ
The above is a solid model that would cost a lot to laser sinter, so, I made a hollowed out one for Shapeways which is here https://www.shapeways.com/product/9LS44Y49C/trimble-case-handle-for-s6-case and still has a lot of plastic and is expensive
The solid version's stl is in the zip file
and works fine on an FDM printer

We have been using 3D printed chargers for our S6/S7 batteries for over a year now and they have worked flawlessly. Actually better than the stock chargers that seem to forever trying to decide if a friggin battery is charged. Since a battery charger has so much intrinsic liability, I will never print one for somebody, but, I can provide the model. This model is designed to be printed by FDM and is a tight fit. You will need a Bourn's 70ADH-5-M-ND with the "-5-" being the number of pins. Digi-Key has them here Bourns Trimble pins and you will also need a power plug for which I have been using Conwork PCB mount 3 pins for the 2.1x5.5 plug and slotted 12mm hole Charger Plugs You will also need a Smart Charger to plug into the printed device for which I use this Charger from Battery Space.
The Conwork PCB Mount 3 Pin DC Power Plug Connector Socket 5.5mm x 2.1mm that I specify in the last post are crap.?ÿ The panel screw does not fit on the threads on the plug.?ÿ Get a different brand of plug for the 12mm hole
These are some screws that SECO sells.?ÿ Main screw "D10643 Clamp Screw Assy" and "5211-003 Friction Screw"
When the friction screw (I assume that's the one that contacts the rod) on my data collection clamp broke, I just went to my local Ace Hardware store and bought a nylon machine screw to replace it.?ÿ The head is smaller, but there's only a small contact area and it's centered anyway, so it's just as effective.?ÿ No printing required!
LOL, I am in the process of designing something that will use these screws, that is why I modeled them.?ÿ I bought three of them and one of the little friction screws, they totaled $10.50 after tax.?ÿ I didn't think that was too bad.?ÿ The friction screw was $1.50.?ÿ Wait, I got these from Oregon, I still have to pay tax, ....
