Valve Index Front Cable Clamp Heavy Duty

thingiverse

An easy-to-print replacement for the flimsy original front cable attachment if you have broken it. This is a remake of my old Thingiverse project that I made after breaking my Front cable attachment on my well used and beloved Valve Index. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4424259 Unfortunately those front clamp, even while being more stable then the original one, is still very prone to accidents. After getting a bit loose from the tension while breaking the rear cable clamp more than 3 times, I decided to create a "heavy duty" version for people being obviously clumsy like me. If you need a replacement cabel clamp for the REAR, please have a look at my other designs. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4424259 or the much stronger new one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4966474 This one is not made for clipping it to the HMD like the older version, because that clips were the weak point. Instead of this slide it over the head strap where the left headphone is located (don't worry, the clamp will not block it) with the small cable holder clamp pointing upwards. It will have a snug fit. Slide the cable in from the side, too. Dont clip it in, because that can weaken the print. Don't use the HMD without something like my clamp if you have broken the original attachment, because this may destroy the somewhat fragile cable (been there done that). This is an easy print without supports. I made it a bit stronger and a bit more ornated. The most important changes are a stopper lip at the cable clamp, so that the cable can't be pulled out that easy, plus a bit wieder body. Not as nice as the original, but it works.
