This is a small box for connecting a resistor to a circuit with banana plug test leads.
I made it primarily for connecting a high ohm resistor in series with ground for ESD protection, but the design could also be used to hold other small components.
**Printing**
I recommend printing the lid with support.
**Assembly**
You will need:
- Two banana sockets
- One small screw
- One resistor
Threading the nut onto the socket from the inside can be tricky since there isn't a lot of space. Try plugging in a banana plug into the socket before mounting it and use it to thread it onto the nut. Hold the nut with a pair of pliers. Once the threads have caught you can use two pairs of pliers to turn it the rest of the way.
I designed it around the cheapest model of banana socket you can find on Aliexpress/Ebay. Others models might also work.
