About this 3D model

A parametric PowerPole breakout/distribution box that allows multiple devices to share one power supply. Anderson PowerPoles are commonly used by Amateur Radio (ham) operators and emergency organizations as a standard for connecting power to their equipment. **Update:** This is my first-ever attempt at uploading something and, of course, it's not going smoothly. The customizer isn't rendering the STL properly, so... for now, I'm disabling it. Meanwhile, I've included one STL file for a 4 position box (1 connection on the side plus 4 on top). If you download the OpenSCAD script, you can render other configurations. For more build details, see: http://wordpress.uark.edu/rso-w5ym/2014/07/07/parametric-powerpole-break-out-boxes/ **UPDATE:** Per a request in the comments, I have added STL files for boxes with 3, 4, and 5 PowerPoles on top. Each type has three files: one with both box halves, one with the "top" of the box only, and one with the "bottom" of the box only. This simplifies printing for anyone that wishes to print each half of the box using a different color (for instance). One of the new files is functionally identical to the original STL file, however the original file was left in-place for archival reasons. Comments welcome.
