Parametric mold for TRS jack sheath

Human: This thing is a bit lacking in strength, as a 90 degree jack does significantly better holding up. You should really take a look at this stronger version over at thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:882792 for an idea on how to make something even more robust. Create your own two-part mold that you can customize for casting a silicone sheath specifically designed for headphone jack needs, or for creating a TRS style jack sheath of any size at all. When your favorite headphones get in need of new jacks again, tear them apart, add a soldered-on fix and then proceed with crafting a one-of-a-kind customizable mold to envelop it once more around the now fixed area, securing things together forever this time. See how customizing each section works below. Instructions Simply print out the blueprint on the two molds provided here. Take some high-quality silicone that's soft enough not hardening too fast in low temperature - then gently pop your blob of it right into each of those halves so that both the silicone has gotten around every part evenly from left to right until no empty space whatsoever remaines and secure them shut tight by using a pair six solid bolts plus washers securely bolted tightly around M3 bolts with nuts firmly fastened for total stability. The result would last better over long term if placed within enclosed cool, humid or freezing area environment like in sealed containers wrapped inside multiple layers packing supplies kept chilled until finally dried at moderate rate under ideal ambient humidity level - nothing above ninety two percentage then dry overnight let things alone to complete process completion after twenty four hours since starting without interruptions. A small bead of strong industrial hot-melt adhesive applied just where the wire meets their housing will ensure a bit tighter adhesion while increasing mechanical interlocking forces greatly; so now they shouldn't give out too quickly in day-to-day handling which could potentially break otherwise loose weakly under constant normal everyday pressure forces without fail due better adherence than previously experienced beforehand due proper method now chosen above for securing each one of them nicely in position strongly.
