The free 123D software is so fun and easy to use, you will have it done in no time. Might be nice to add a momentary switch to sense the J plug being docked (in case of future OpenEVSE functionality).
Did you find out what a local fabricator might charge once you finalize your design?

Though I don't have any connector to test fit with.

Where are you located?
It is most likely that we could arrange for a test fitting.
I would check the clearances before printing, to make
sure that any surface "roughness" (variations) will
not interfere with the fit of the J1772 plug.
What kind of 3D printer do you have available?
What material do you use with it?
dzd said:nice job Borland!!! if the fit is good would you make the file available or put it on file with shapeways so we can all partake?
borland said:Haven't done any destructive testing, but the part looks to be strong enough. Only design change I'd make, is to shorten the tube by a few milimeters.
