Is there a holster that works with the Tesla J1772 adapter? I have a J1772 EVSE at work. Some days I will drive my Volt and will need the J1772 so switching to a wall connector is not a good option. I am looking to avoid having to get the adapter out of the car every day. I want to be able to leave a Tesla adapter on the J1772 connector and holster it that way. My though was to leave the adapter in the holster when charging the Volt. I bought a bought a BMZX Tesla connector holster but it does not work with the adapter. Recommendations?

Holster that works with J1772 adapter

Thanks. I saw that one. I was hoping there was one that could be bought rather than have to find a 3-D printer to produce it for me. That one won't attache to my pedistal (bolt spacing is too wide) and it leave the connector un-protected from the weather. If I find nothing else I will have to design my own and have it printed. I may very well start with this design and tweak it.
If you find one that works, you can order it right on Thingiverse to be printed.
Eg. This one is under $30 printed (Tesla J1772 Adapter Charger Plug Holder by grant10k).

I’m not sure what the difference is between the adapter mount and a Tesla Connector mount, but I’m using this holster for my HPWC Connector and it’s just about perfect.

Might be a good starting point if you have to tweak it to fit the adapter somehow ... maybe notch out the bottom it looks like?

If you've already got a J1772 holster, my adapter may be the simplest way to do what you want:

As @fr100 notes, you can pay a service to print a 3D model, so you don't need a 3D printer, although having one can be convenient. That said, I've never used a 3D printing service, so I can't suggest a specific one or comment on quality, price, etc.

I cannot get anything from Thingverse to open in SolidWorks. STL options do not come up when these files are selected in file/open, file type .stl.
Sorry - I don't have SolidWorks (or, a 3D printer for that matter). I can ask my brother who printed it for me to open and re-save the file in another format maybe? Any suggestions?
That would be fantastic! If he has Solidworks then .sldprt would be the best. If not the .step or .stp usually work well.
