Ethernet | RJ45 clip to secure/repair/fix broken tab

prusaprinters

<p>This clip was design to fix/repair/secure the broken or loose tab of a RJ45 Ethernet connector and avoid crimping. Designed to prevent from moving, wiggling, falling from the connector and easy to install.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 27/01/2021</strong><br/> Added the 3 following files which are slightly wider body (0.25mm) than 4.7 version.<br/> <strong>1.</strong> "4.8.nf.supported" (extension) comes "with supports" for the ones are not very familiar with. But I still prefer S3D's supports.<br/> <strong>2.</strong> "4.8.nf" (extension) with "no fillet", to make it easier printing with supports.<br/> <strong>3.</strong> "4.8" (extension) with fillet, for "smooth edges". On FDM printers isn't that much noticeable.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 01/01/2021</strong><br/> Added another version with "no fillet" (".nf" extension), actually it has sharp edges to make it easier printing with supports.</p> <p><strong>Printing</strong><br/> Suggested printing orientation is the one as the files are stored, why?<br/> Printing the tab from the base to the tip in X-Y axis makes it stronger and more flexible since its printed in one continued string.<br/> If you change the orientation with the tip on top then tab's base will start from the bottom and builds up while the Z axis is sticking the rest of it till the tip. With this orientation the tab has more possibilities to brake since Z layers don't bond the same as the method I suggested.<br/> *If you have another solution let me know.</p> <p><strong>Supports</strong><br/> Supports needed and you need to be experienced with good slicer settings. Also attention needed when removing them from the actual print.<br/> Or you can print the file with "4.8.nf.supported" (extension) which comes with supports. But I still prefer S3D's supports.</p> <p><strong>Installation note:</strong><br/> <strong>1.</strong> Before install the "printed clip" check the left overs of the broken tab. If it is too long the tip of the "printed clip" might not click underneath the left-over. So, I suggest to leave a length of the broken tab about "0,5-1,0mm". If the broken tad left-over is to small or cuted flash then the printed one might not click and hopefully that would work well, haven't tested that scenario.<br/> <strong>2.</strong> Follow the sketches to install the "printed clip", also while sliding in if you find it a bit hard some wiggling might help.</p> <p>*You may call it the "ScorpioNet" or "Devil's Network Tail"!</p> <ul> <li>Designed in Inventor</li> </ul> <hr/> <p><strong>If you enjoy and want to support my work you can donate me on the link below,<br/> Thank you!</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/gusstheodoridis">https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/gusstheodoridis</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>Supports:</strong> Yes<br/> <strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.20-0.35<br/> <strong>Infill:</strong> ~20%</p>
