Keystone Jack Punchdown Holder

thingiverse

I wanted a better way to punch down keystone jacks without straining my hand or using makeshift tools like scraps of wood. I designed this holder to provide comfort and reduce fatigue, rounding the corners for ease of use. It works just as well on hard surfaces as it does in your hand, making it indispensable when working on ladders or in tight spots. The compact design fits easily into any toolkit and can be carried comfortably all day. The original version (v.02) is specifically designed to work with Leviton keystones, while the updated version (v.03-cm) accommodates both Cable Matters and Leviton keystones. Version 03 was created entirely in OpenSCAD using minkowski to round the corners, streamlining the design process. Print Settings Rafts: None Supports: None Resolution: Low-resolution layers at 3mm thickness Infill: A honeycomb pattern with 15% infill density Design Process I started by creating a basic design in OpenSCAD and saving it as an STL file. I then imported the STL into 123D, converted it to a solid object, and used the fillet tool to round the edges. While it would have taken more time, using OpenSCAD's minkowski function could have achieved similar results.
