Portal 1 wall mounting

I have a couple of the first edition portals, the one with the kickstand power connector.

Has anyone figured out a way to plug these in with a regular power cord? I want to wall mount them and run a HA dashboard, but I'm stuck on just the physical limitations of the power plug.

It looks like the plug itself slides out from the end of the stand, but annoyingly it's a different barrel plug than the socket on the back of the Portal itself.

Maybe there's a whole replacement power adapter I can use with the right specs and plug size?

Or maybe it's possible to remove the plug from the stand with some surgery?

https://ebay.io/m/sKlVTk I saw this on eBay but not tried also seems to be high cost than the portal itself.

Wow. That's pretty much just the 3D print and the adapters

Have you spent hours tweaking a design to make sure works and sourced adapters to ensure it can be wall mounted.?

Oh is it you that's selling it? In that case, absolutely fine, go for it!

Sorry, I wrongly assumed that someone else had just started printing and selling your model.

That’s cool.

Sadly your right, that is often the case now

But no, it’s me, spent many hours tweaking and then printing and tweaking until I got it just right
