Tag Connect Protective Cap for 6 pin and 10 pin debug probes

thingiverse

Tag connect pins are easy to break. Also they are easy to lose. This provides a cap that you can loop around your 6 or 10 pin tag connect probes. In the file list there is two different models and their corresponding openscad design files. Each are for the 10pin and 6pin respectively. The dimensions was based on this datasheet: http://www.tag-connect.com/Materials/TC2030-IDC.pdf Settings used was with 20% infill, 2 layer wall. 0.2 mm layer height, on a 0.4mm nozzle diameter extruder (may have issues if going for larger nozzle, due to how fine the holes should be.) Design considerations: * Tapered from the plug to the loop to avoid strain breakage of the loop * Loop maintains minimum with to avoid being too thin and thus breaking easily. * Initial design had holes for each probe pin, but I found that my printer cannot accurately print these holes out easily. Thus a large cutout was done instead. Corrections: * There was a oversight in 10pin probe design. Loop length too small. Will increase length so you can actually cap the 10 pin probe. Also need to add bottom holes for the align pin, as it is longer than the 6pin probe. This has been corrected and uploaded now. * Discovered that the new 6pin & 10pin probe has longer alignment clip. Will need to modify both cap to ensure it can support alignment pin length of 6mm (where probe pin is about 4mm). Corrected now by setting cap to be 7mm in height this time.
