Ender 5 USB Lock

thingiverse

I needed a way to secure my USB cable in place to prevent it from accidentally disconnecting mid-print. Cats can be such a joy, but they're not exactly known for their precision. This 20mm wide accessory attaches with two M3 screws and two T-Nuts, providing a solid connection that won't budge easily. To assemble this, you'll need to drop your t-nuts down into the channel first. Then, plug in the USB cable, followed by dropping your screws down into the T-Nuts. If you do it any other way, you'll never get the USB plugged in with the screws and T-Nuts already attached. Once you've got it assembled, the USB plug is securely fastened in place. I'm confident that this will prevent any accidental disconnections from occurring. I've included both the STL and OBJ files for anyone who needs to make adjustments or modifications. If you encounter any issues with the plastic molding around your USB plug being too thick, simply heat up the circle cut-out with a lighter. The PLA will then easily form fit into place when pressed in.
