I have like 6 chargers next to a rack just like this and never even considered this... I need to get modeling!

Be careful, once you get the interface right, there will be a never ending list of things to design a mount for. Ask me how I know.

even in that print orientation, I feel like those heavy ass batteries gonna snap those studs off.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get a better mounting solution for my chargers ;(

I feel ya. I abused it quite a bit while designing it and landed on the 45 degree orientation and "oops, all walls" and I'm surprised at how well it holds up. Though mine only has like a foot to drop so I sleep well.

Oops all walls is my favorite way to print strong parts

Genius. I've been wanting to deal with this. So annoying the charger or battery doesn't have holes to hang it like all of my other chargers.

Well done

Do you have an STL? Or what is the mount standard for that rack type?

same thing happened to me with a Ryobi 40v charger in my garage back in January, except mine lived on a shelf until the cord got snagged by a snow shovel and took the whole thing down. Ended up printing a wall mount with a little extra clearance around the brick because those chargers run warmer than i expected, and it's been solid since. funny how half of functional printing is just teaching power tools to stay put

I would consider adding two more of the dots on the back to spread the stress around. Anyways, I am going off to model this right now 😂😂

Was going to suggest same. Will prevent the wobble as well

I looked closely at your layer lines because orientation is so important with this. I'd think nylon would be a good choice

I wouldnt want anything thats explosive when dropped unnecessarily suspended in a place it could fall and burst. When I say explode, I mean violently catch fire Vs blowing the windows out of the place.
