2026-08-16 (Su) EleKSCo REV05 Power receiver puck modeling

I began drafting my concept for a friction-fit power receiver. I started with a plain disk and removed a flat-sided round hole which would fit the power socket. I added a hex hole on the opposite side for the nut, but later removed it because I would be unable to tighten it. I forgot the offset necessary for the socket. On top of the disc, I added four posts with round edges for the inside of the pipe and clearance for the power socket nut. I placed four bolt holes as close to the edge as possible, considering their head diameters. When I made a wedge-shaped hole in the posts, I realized that the hub-side supporting wall was too thin to be stable. I modeled a plug I could push into place after installing the power receptacle, which should provide enough structure.
