I Made My Own Binding Posts And So Can You!

I needed some binding posts for an upcoming project and paid a small fortune for some off Amazon. When they got here I noticed that they were actually shorter than what I needed - so I decided to make my own and so can you!
Make your own using these files:

On the spacers that sandwich the case I would suggest adding a lip on them so that the threaded rod can't shift and touch the casing, fine for a plastic case but a metal one will need it.

[@SimpleElectronics]

I was thinking of that but it would mean you couldn't just add it to a 6mm hole - but I did drop the files on GitHub so people can mod it as they wish!

[@TheDefpom]

@@SimpleElectronics you could always print a thin spacer ring to add instead to go between them, to act as a grommet.

[@patrickcraenen5163]

I was thinking the same thing while watching the video. If you use these binding posts in a metal housing, a short circuit is lurking...

[@frankowalker4662]

I noticed the same problem. But these are still cool.

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

maybe use an o ring

[@AlanTuringWannabe]

This channel deserves way more attention

[@IanScottJohnston]

Nice video. If you are drilling the threaded rod for use with wire or pin crimps then the easiest way is to 3D print a jig to hold the threaded rod and to provide a guide hole for the drill bit.

[@jw200]

Print with ABS, put the knobs in acetone vapor and they will be smooth like glass. It will look like they are factory made.

[@DustinWatts]

The little ring is there to keep the threaded rod exactly in the centre ensuring no touchy/conductivity to the sides. So I would add those. Other than that, great design! Love it! Bang! Afterthought: You can always put a put of heatshrink on the the rod that goes through the hole in you case to keep in from shorting. Edit: I see I am not the only one who suggested that. And indeed. It is not hard to make lip if you want if the design files are there for grabs :) So thanks for sharing!

@@SimpleElectronics I don't have a need for them right now, but everything open source is something I try to remember for "if" and "when". And of course when I am ready, Google will point me in the right direction! :)

[@t1d100]

Thanks for sharing! Ideas... Drill a hole in the post, to clamp bare wire. I have used PCB Copper Tinning solution to tin Brass. Dual hole spacing is 3/4"/19mm, if I remember correctly. There are Banana adapters that will screw onto your posts, IIRC. I think I saw them on Uni-Byte's YT channel.

[@ellisgl]

Next up, banana plugs! 😅

[@VitMcG]

hi can you make small solar projects?

[@belenhedderich3330]

Hi why Brass?

[@SimpleElectronics]

Much more conductive than steel, much cheaper and more corrosion resistant than copper!
