Big Tugger

The Big Tugger is a cable strain relief gadget that has a number of uses but the main ones are by protecting sockets from being accidentally damaged or simply stopping a power cord from being accidentally ripped out when someone trips on a loose cable. Note: I've improved my design and added it to a new thing here:- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2452675 This short video explains it all;- https://youtu.be/sWLgZHM7_Ro Twice now I’ve had my camera monitor fall off the hot shoe adapter. Once was after a bit of camera movement but the second was when I accidentally hooked the HDMI cable and yanked it off. I’m not too concerned about the monitor but both times it ripped out the micro HDMI plug on my Sony with some considerable force. Fortunately the HDMI socket on my camera handled the extreme handling without causing any permanent damage. I tried Jerkstoppers but they were a pain to use... that's when I decided to build a better cable strain relief and I came up with my design called Tuggers. The Big Tugger is for protecting sockets by attaching it to cables sized around large mains cables or multiple cables. There are two other sizes that can also be found here:- Lil' Tugger can be found here:- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2415019 Regular Tugger can be found here:- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2415093 If my video or 3D models didn't answer all your questions then please ask below?
