Lockable USB Cable Clasp Version 2.0

STL available here:

I didn’t really need this design, but it always bothered me that my earlier version was so difficult to print – or, rather, the built-in support was so difficult to remove. So I made a complete redesign that does not require any support. Much better.

🔒 Lockable USB Cable Clasp โ€“ Version 2.0

Print & Slicer Settings

Functional designs (such as this one) generally require more strength than non-functional designs and more strength than the typical default slicer settings provide, so please review your slicer settings carefully.

This product was designed for a 0.4mm nozzle and a 0.2mm layer height. For best results, I suggest the following:

  • Material: PLA, PETG, or ABS
  • Nozzle: 0.4 mm
  • Layer Height: 0.2 mm
  • Walls: 4 (1.6 mm)
  • Top/Bottom: 5 (1.0 mm)
  • Infill: 40% Cubic (100% for maximum strength)
  • Detect Thin Walls: On
  • Wall Generator: Arachne
  • Brim/Raft: No
  • Support: None required
  • Print Orientation: As per STL/3MF files

Assembly Notes

No assembly required.

Where to Get My STL Files

Thangs.com

I am now posting all of my new designs on Thangs.com and plan to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Some of my older designs may not have been migrated over yet so if they are not available on Thangs.com please check on Thingiverse.

Use, Licensing, Comments and Feedback

My primary distribution site for my design files is Thangs.com. Thangs.com is, in my opinion, leading the way in promoting designers and competition amongst designers which in turn fuels the growth of high-quality 3d printable designs for the benefit of our entire community. However, as a result, some of my designs are only available for free for 1 week from when first posted, so please download them when you see a new file available that you are interested in. Also, please like and save to help me with the competitions.

I do not permit the use of my designs for commercial purposes (i.e. you can not sell my design(s) or products printed from my design(s)) without first acquiring a commercial license from me. On Thangs.com I offer membership accounts for access to all my design files as well as a membership for commercial licensing which allows subscribers to sell printed products using my designs.

I welcome comments and feedback as we as requests for customization of designs. I will do my best to accommodate those requests.
