Ethernet Plug (RJ45) Protector

RJ45 plug locking clips are notorious for breaking with ease due to their vulnerable shape and fragile plastic material. It's astonishingly simple to damage one of them while storing cables in an area where they're tangling each other. To safeguard them, it's highly recommended to lock each plug into a protective case. I came across "RJ45 coupler for storage by SSD" and decided to revamp the design to a single case instead of two separate ones. Additionally, I made it slightly deeper to enclose the locking clips even more securely. The single protector case also gave me the opportunity to print them without relying on any support. If you'd like to modify the design to suit your specific needs, the step file is available in the list for your reference. To print them, I utilized PETG, but it's not a requirement at all. PLA is an ideal candidate for this project and would surely deliver excellent results. Best regards.
