Valve Index power connector jig

thingiverse

The power plug for my Valve index was malfunctioning, requiring light pressure to establish a connection.\r\n\r\nTo resolve this issue, I designed a small jig that wraps around the plug to apply the necessary pressure.\r\n\r\nI utilized Blender to create a cylinder and cut out its center, then curved it slightly. This project marked my first experience with Blender and designing something to 3D print.\r\n\r\nAttached are files for both 15 and 25 degree curved versions of the jig. If successful, use the 15 degree version as it exerts less stress on the plug. Print at approximately 110-120% scale. For optimal results, consider printing a larger size and wrapping tape around the connector to secure it snugly.
