Headphone wire clip

After modding my headphones by adding a 3.5mm female jack so I can switch between cables more easily. I quickly realised that the slightest snag or resistance on the cable combined with a small head movement would unplug my headphones, I designed this thing so that I could now temporarily lock my headphone cable onto my headphones while making it easily removable. Instructions: 1) Sand everything in order to get a good yet tight fit between the two parts. 2) After making sure everything fits correctly insert your headphone cable 3.5mm jack through the clip not all the way through so it acts as a guide for the clip holder. 3) Apply a small amount of CA glue on the radiused part of the clip holder and apply the entire assembly onto the headphones ensuring a good fit. 4) Once the clip holder has been secured, remove the 3.5mm jack leaving the clip inside the clip holder. Apply a small ammount of CA glue on the jack and insert forcefully into the assembly in order to ensure everything lines up correctly and the cable connector makes proper connection with the headphone's female connector. IMPORTANT Notes: 1) The part of the clip that fits onto your jack might be too small, You can try reprinting it in a larger scale or alternatively what I did was heat it up with a lighter for a few seconds so it becomes flexible and fitted it onto the 3.5mm jack ensuring a good fit which I then secured with CA glue. 2) If the clip holder's radius is too large/small for your headphones it can be easily edited in your CAD software of choice by simply cutting the radius of your headphones on the clip holder. Enjoy!
