Modern Robotics Module USB Strain Relievers

UPDATE ON 2015-11-20!! Dale Jordan of Oregon FTC made significant enhancements to the original designs. He introduced slots for the zipties to slide under, converted the ziptie holes into rectangles instead of circles, and combined the power module strain reliever with the one at this link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1096699 in a creative way. All files beginning with DJ_ are his property. Feel free to download the entire set and use what works best for your robot design. These files are shared here with Dale's permission. Thanks go to Dale, VCHS, and Matt Rain for original thing 1096699! V5 features ziptie "cutouts" allowing mounts to be installed flat on a plate without extra holes needing to be cut in the plate for the ziptie to pass through. A credit goes to Dale Jordan of FTC Oregon for first introducing me to this concept through his upgraded designs. Later versions: adjustments were made to the hole spacing, slightly tightening the fit for zipties. Strain relief was created specifically for small USB connectors used on various Modern Robotics modules found on FTC robots. Print flat, then invert the print and mount it onto the module. Use regular screw holes to secure the module and strain reliever together. Finally, fasten the USB connector with a small ziptie, similar to previous Samantha module strain relievers used in earlier years.
