Big Tugger

The Big Tugger is a cable strain relief gadget that comes equipped with multiple uses, but its main function is to protect sockets from being accidentally damaged or simply prevent a power cord from being ripped out when someone trips on a loose cable. Note: I've improved my design and added it to a new project here:- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2452675 This short video explains everything;- https://youtu.be/sWLgZHM7_Ro I've experienced two instances where my camera monitor fell off the hot shoe adapter, once after some camera movement but the second time was when I accidentally yanked the HDMI cable and it ripped out the micro HDMI plug on my Sony with considerable force. Fortunately, the HDMI socket on my camera handled the extreme handling without causing any permanent damage. I tried using Jerkstoppers, but they were a pain to use... that's when I decided to build a better cable strain relief and came up with my design called Tuggers. The Big Tugger is designed for protecting sockets by attaching it to cables sized around large mains cables or multiple cables. There are two other sizes that can also be found here:- Lil' Tugger can be found here:- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2415019 Regular Tugger can be found here:- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2415093 If my video or 3D models didn't answer all your questions, please ask below?
