Lightning Cable Saver Flexible Latch

prusaprinters

<p>The original didn't stay connected too well when printed with flexible filament, so I remixed with external latches that hold better.<br>I uploaded an updated version of the print file, and also added a file with supports configured to make printing and removing supports easier.</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I was using Ninjatek Cheetah filament for my prints this, but I think that is a little too stiff. Now I'm using Ninjaflex. Filament rated at 85A shore hardness or even a little software is needed. I printed at a layer height of only .12MM or at most, .18MM. Supports may or may not be needed depending on print capability. The main key to successfully printing these (and probably others) with flexible filament is to make the speed 50% or less than normal for PLA, and make the extruder temperature higher. High resolution is needed because of the small details of the design. My print time is about 50 minutes. I printed mine at 235° C. Adding a brim is also recommended. I was able to print without supports, but still needed to trim a small amount of excess with scissors or a sharp razor blade after printing.</p>
