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:

You'll need some hardware too:

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.

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.

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.

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!

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