Prusa ribbon cable grommet

thingiverse

I constructed a protective enclosure and positioned the LCD outside of it. However, the exposed ribbon cable bothered me both aesthetically and in terms of its long-term safety. Additionally, it tends to catch on the bottom of the enclosure doors. The shelf I'm using is a Muscle Rack with sheet steel on top. The idea of cutting through this and possibly damaging the ribbon cable on the jagged edge of the sheet steel didn't appeal to me. I developed this grommet to both safeguard the cable and improve its appearance compared to a drilled hole. It is designed so that each part has a male and female end, allowing them to click together if you print two.
