Mold for RJ45 plug

thingiverse

I use a heat gun to create insulation on the plug. It is crucial that the hot-melt gun is thoroughly warmed up so you can extract enough adhesive. In low-power models of the gun, continuous extrusion is impossible. Remember that the lifespan of the melt is roughly one minute. The mold is printed from PET-G with 0.4 nozzle and 0.1mm layer. To ensure the adhesive separates easily, the surface must be lubricated. A concentrated soap solution made from a solid soap is well-suited for this purpose. It completely dries up and forms a solid soapy layer on the surface. Sequencing: 1. Lubricate the mold with a concentrated soap solution 2. Preheat the gun for six minutes 3. Squeeze adhesive from the side of the cable into each half of the mold 4. Connect the halves together 5. Squeeze more glue into the hole until it fills the inner part of the plug and starts to seep outside 6. Allow the plug to cool for five minutes 7. Disconnect the halves and remove excess adhesive with a knife
