I am building an AC adapter for my canon 60D. This should fit in the battery slot and give me a way to route wires from the contact points to an external DC power supply.
update 1 - Corrected some glitches on the right side rail, and fixed some errors. The original scad file really wasn't going to work without some sanding.
Test Print Results - Jan 29th/2015: The print fits in the charger, but the slots for the rails are not quite large enough to fit in the camera. I could Dremel it out, but I will adjust the .scad and stl files as soon as I have a chance. Pretty damn close for my first go at it. I think the slot for the battery connections needs to be shifted a bit as well.
Update 2 - Jan 29th/2015: Rebuilt the rails, and redesigned the wire guide for providing power to the pins. I have added slots for each pin that keep the wires separate, and a tight fitting clip to hold the wires in place. I plan on cementing or solvent welding it in place once the wires are set.

Not recommended for use yet: I took the dimensions by eye and with a normal office ruler. I won't post the STL until I have done a test print. I also haven't figured out what to fit into the base of the power slots so that it can connect to the AC adaptor. I also haven't looked up what the voltage/current requirements are. I was going to regulate to 7.2 volts, and guess that the camera draws no more than an amp, but I am sure looking up the specs for the canon sold adaptor should tell me what I need to know.
