AC and DC voltmeter installation using a 3d printed bezel

Just another little addition. I found an AC Volt/Amp/Watt meter on Amazon and I had a DC volt meter I had purchased on ebay some time ago and I wanted to install them so I could keep an eye on the battery and line voltage in my RV

I knew there was no way I could cut a very clean hole to mount the meters in the wood panelling, I designed a bezel and printed it on my 3d printer. It made for a very clean installation.

The back light on the AC meter can be turned off with a button to the right of the display. I added a toggle switch to turn off the DC meter at night.

Installation was very straight up given that the breaker box / fuse panel with inches to the left of the meters.

1Kg of abs = $19.99 (see amazon Hatchbox abs printer filament)

18grams = amount of abs needed for faceplate

$0.36 cost for plastic

Nice job. I like all you 3D printer mods.
