BNC Plug Cover

prusaprinters

<p>[V2 Text]<br/> Did some updates to the design:</p> <ul> <li>Added a much grippier snap together tab. This took a couple of iterations to get right. Initially it was very tight, but now I think provides a pretty decent balance of security and open-ability. You'll need a coin or spoon or something to pop it open to begin with. It may start off very tight, but does seem to loosen up a bit after a few open/close cycles. </li> <li>Made the pry-gaps a little bigger- to facilitate the spoon/coin opening. </li> <li>Added a small hole at the top of each of the ribs- add a string to keep both halves tethered together- and to the coax if you like. </li> <li><p>Added a small dent half way down each rib- so you can add an elastic band if you decide to trim down the snap together nubs a bit too much. Let me know if you find this useful?</p> <p>[V1 Text]<br/> Just a simple snap together protective cover to protect BNC plugs while on the end of coax. I was always worried about denting the sleeve, or getting dirt/sand inside the end of a BNC when coiling up coax and the end is flopping about.</p> <p>This is designed specifically for 5mm OD coax, and M&amp;P BNC Connectors and provides a loose fit to the connector.</p> <p>The snap together action works, but may not be strong enough for use on the field. It may need some refining. I was also thinking i could make each half the same- i.e. with a male and female tab to save having to print one of each.</p> <p>STL file for slicing, OBJ file for easy tinkering.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>I3 MK3S</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>200</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>38</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> RS Pro PLA Tartan <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>I printed it with the 0.3mm DRAFT preset in Prusa Slicer and it was fine- this is not an ornament and will be dragged on the ground etc. </p></div></p> </p></p></p> Category: Electronics
