IBM Model M SDL Clip

prusaprinters

<p>The IBM Model M is great, but the little clips on their SDL cables tend to break. Once this happens, the cable doesn't like to stay in the keyboard. Replacement cables are really expensive! Instead, this clip slides over your connector and screws into the nearby hex screw, securely keeping the cable attached.</p><ul><li>0.4mm nozzle, 0.15mm layer height recommended. Some printed features are too small for larger nozzles/layer heights.</li><li>PETG recommended. You'll need to flex this print a little bit to get it on the cable, and brittle plastics are likely to break. I printed mine with Prusament Jet Black PETG.</li></ul><p>This part fits snugly! It might be difficult to get the clip in at first, but once it's in it's very secure. A 5.5mm hex driver is required for the screw (which is the normal model M size). I've included the F360 file in case you need to make changes. STL cables have somewhat loose tolerances so you might need some tweaking or ±~1% print scale to get this to fit correctly for you</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>--</p><p>Please note the license of this work and provide attribution if you choose to share, adapt, or sell this.
