Tesla supercharger adapter case

[Rtashiro]

Hi. Searching this forum and others I could not find a decent case for the Tesla designed charging adapter that ford sent. I had it just in the glove box but I could hear it sliding back and forth and I wanted to get a case for it. Fits pretty well and it was cheap.

thought i would share on here if anyone else may be looking.

For whatever it's worth, the A2Z Typhoon Pro came with a very nice custom fit zippered case. Unfortunately, it does not quite fit in the upper glove box...

Yes I had the typhoon pro but sold it when I recieved the Tesla adapter from ford. Tesla adapter seemed lower quality but more compact.

I bought this one for the glove box from Etsy. It is a great fit with no rattling from a great seller.

I am interested in getting into 3d printing as a hobby and to learn. Do you have any suggestions for printers capable of this kind of thing?

No idea on that part. I just had the students in engineering do it for me.

I had the original A2Z adapter, which was recalled. I received the Typhoon Pro as a replacement -- it's probably the best built NACS adapter. The build quality of the A2Z adapters make the Tesla adapters feel quite janky. After Tesla had to recall a bunch of their own adapters, it's unsurprising that Ford decided to do their own with Lectron.

Bambu Labs A1 and A1 mini is the what you probably want

Thanks for the bag/case idea.
P.S. Love my Bambu Labs A1 3D printer. The software is amazing. Very easy to use.

Lots and lots of options.

I have 3 printers, a stock ender 3 (~$150), and modified Ender 3 with about $250 in extra parts, and a Bambu X1 Carbon with the AMS.

After having spent years with my Enders I can say confidently, just buy the Bambu! I fire off prints from my couch and don't even think about if it's going to work, it just works.

Granted, the X1C is fairly expensive, but a P1s without AMS is just as good and a lot cheaper, it just is not as capable.

Make sure you read into the concerns surrounding the Bambu printers however.

Just got a new one for my Ford lectron if anyone wants my old purple one for the Tesla adapter, y’all can have it. You can pick it up if you’re in Sacramento area the purple one in a picture above.

I'm thinking of using a small padded camera or lens case, hard shell or soft-shell.
Maybe something like this:

If your budget allows, get this one.

https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/x1-carbon

It supports color changes easily and prints much faster than competitors in its price range.

3D printing is a rabbit hole though. You will be amazed at all the stuff you didn't know you needed to know once you get into it. Like boats, its better to have a buddy with one than buying your own

My buddy printed one up for me using ASA (better hear tolerance).

p.s. thanks @jamelski for the link
