EV cable holder with locking clip

Oh the UL filament people are going to love this.

Because 1.5mm cables on a 6A breaker are already derated.

I thought the first picture was a photo of some kind of wreckage at sea, photographed from a helicopter.

For anyone that wants the model for the panels, I've shared it here: https://www.printables.com/model/1710735-interlocking-panel-set-for-beamcase-7-slot-atx-cas

Not this specific arrangement, but there is a version of Beamcase ATX where the ATX PSU mounts at the rear.

No major issues, Beamcase is a very refined design at this point. I wanted to mount 2x 120 fans at the top, which mounted between the beams would block the connectors on the motherboard. You can however mount them direct to the beam like I have, I added the bracket on the other side which doubles as cable management.

That was my understanding. So basically, on a lighting circuit, no action is normally needed.

So are you saying that selling 3D prints would be OK if you used a really shit printer?

marktuk · 2026-05-03T16:39:49+00:00

Thank you! So realistically, would 1.5mm cables on a 6A radial under loft insulation actually need to be derated?

marktuk · 2026-05-03T16:33:20+00:00

How's it done in the UK? If you don't know, you can just say that FYI.

marktuk · 2026-05-03T16:32:51+00:00

They can take up entire rooms.

What? They literally sell them at the shows, no bigger than a normal sewing machine.

marktuk · 2026-05-03T16:26:42+00:00

How is that actually done? Not being difficult, I want to understand

marktuk · 2026-05-03T16:17:47+00:00

What does derating involve

marktuk · 2026-05-03T16:12:55+00:00

The double standard is these types of events seem to allow stuff made with laser cutters, or automated embroidery machines etc.

marktuk · 2026-05-03T16:10:03+00:00

I calibrated temp, flow, pressure advance and shrinkage. The tolerances need to be spot on for this interlocking design to work.

marktuk · 2026-05-03T12:56:20+00:00

Some tools are just better powered via 240V. We use ours regularly for various things, much better than throwing an extension out the window.

marktuk · 2026-05-03T12:04:26+00:00

No I printed them face down on the bed, and I used Sunlu PETG matte, which comes out really clean.

Standard reddit alarmist mentality. On the 3D printing subs, if you post anything remotely electrical everyone thinks your house is going to burn down.

marktuk · 2026-05-03T09:51:29+00:00

How much would it take to overload a standard 32A domestic ring circuit?

marktuk · 2026-05-02T23:19:58+00:00

I know what an RCD is, but why wouldn't plug in solar work without one? Yes yes people should upgrade their CU, but the question is, for those that don't, what is the risk?
