USB-B Connector Shell

thingiverse

Simple USB-B connector shell for use with replacement USB-B connectors. Background - I use the Arduino UNO for many projects and I prefer to provide power with a regulated 5V power supply via the USB connector. It bypasses the thermally challenged on board regulator and is over current protected. So I find a cheap (or handy scrap box) 5V power adapter, cut the cable to length and add a USB-B connector. I made this simple slip over cover to finish the connector which were cheap but lacked a shell. So if you also have a handful of naked USB-B connectors - here is a shell that may dress them up. Print Settings Printer: Modified XYZPrinting Da Vinci 1.0 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2mm Infill: 10% Notes: Used ABS as it is tough and a bit flexible. These just press fit over the connectors and did not require any glue. Prints standing up with the back (cable end) down - no raft or supports were needed. Your mileage may vary. Could probably use PLA but may have to scale a bit as it is stiffer than ABS.
