HWS Non-Scale ‘ABB Style’ Plastic Cable Glands Size: Large HEARNS WORKSHOP

HEARNS WORKSHOP NON-SCALE ‘ABB STYLE’ PLASTIC CABLE
GLANDS / CABLE / WIRE ENTRY PORTS – 5 SIZES / 3 STYLES (LARGE)

Use these generic cable glands to add detail anywhere you need a cable or wire
to enter a part or panel. From 1:12 scale car models, to science fiction at any
scale, or for kit-bashing, these glands add the finishing touch to your latest
creation!
Available in 5 different sizes (Three types per raft, 28 of each for a total of 84
parts) , these cable glands will suit any scale from 1:12 and up. For example, the
nominal diameter of the actual product is ø17 and the mounting shaft is an M10,
so at 1:12 the cable glands are nominally ø1.5mm.

The cable glands feature a 2-3mm long shaft of various diameters (see above) for
easy mounting – just drill the appropriate size hole where you want the gland,
slightly chamfer it, and use the shaft as a locator.
Each gland has a guide divot on the top to aid drilling for the hole for the cable. As
resin can be quite brittle, we recommend drilling a pilot hole and taking the cuts in
increments.
In reality cable glands typically have a range of cable diameters they can hold. If
you’re going for extra realism, cross reference the diameter of the cable with the
appropriate real-word nominal diameter of the gland. Scale that diameter down to
your appropriate scale then choose the correct size.

Parts are manufactured from a UV curing resin. Cyanoacrylate (CA) or “Super
Glue” recommended for bonding to rigid PS/ABS or other resin parts. UV curing
resins can be an irritant. Always use the appropriate safety gear when handing or
modifying. Parts are supplied still attached to the supports/raft. Care must be
taken when removing supports. 3D printing IS NOT injection molding! Slight
imperfections and the visible appearance of ‘layer lines’ in places is perfectly
normal and not a defect. ‘Tough’ grade resin parts can damage fine bladed side
cutters – use at own risk. For advanced modellers only
