Navy Flameproof Key 3.5mm Cover

thingiverse

I wanted to keep the original look of the Navy Flameproof Straight key but have the ability to neatly and quickly use an aux cable to connect the key to a rig. I used 3.5mm TRS female connector to wire up to terminals on the Navy key and thus design adds space for it to mount of to the side. This is a right side mount but if you wanted to have the TRS connection on the left for some reason, just mirror the object on the appropriate axis. Nice and neat, especially for portable ops, breaking down and setting up, etc. These are the 3.5mm jacks I used: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805097307057.html I used the original screw that came with my key but wound up having to use a washer to achieve the tightness needed to keep the cover from slightly moving when connecting and disconnecting the aux cable. Not sure if my screw is too long or what. Your results may vary but just be aware if using the original screw you might need a washer to get thing nice an tight. I was too lazy to modify the design to fix this, but that would also be fairly straight forward, or you could probably scale the design to be a couple of mm taller in your slicer just as easy. Hope someone finds this useful. 73 and dit dit!
