I am using Evans 2 amp power supply to power many LEDs on the layout. This comes with an adapter plug which they suggest could be glued to a building. A better way in my opinion was to mount it under the layout, hook it to a terminal strip and from there go to many buildings, lights or accessories. The adapter plug is very fragile so mounting it under the layout would require protecting it as well as a way to mount it securely. I designed and produced a 3D printed bracket to do just that. I do not want to produce or sell these brackets, so I am making the files available at no cost to any Forum members. These are STL files that can be 3D printed if you have a printer or know someone that does. If interested Email me and I'll send you the file.

In round numbers what is the material cost of the goop or whatever you call it to make the connector?  Or is this the wrong question?

I ask because this is exactly where I see the hobby going.  For anyone following the Electrical Forum, there has been a recent (last year or two) flurry of activity in fabricating custom circuit boards.  It takes some skill and technical knowledge to design the PCB.  But once this is done, it then becomes a matter of fabrication which can be reduced to a fairly simple cost analysis of $ per square inch and how long you want to wait.

Likewise, I figure if the STL files are made available, how cool would it be that we get to the point where we can use OGR as the community portal.  Hence I'm curious if there's way to quantify cost.
