VIVE Breakout Box with Strain Relief

thingiverse

I took the original HTC Vive breakout box mount and added a piece to act as a strain relief and sacrificial breakpoint in case of a sharp pull. There are two sets of holes in which to attach cable ties, and it will work both horizontal and vertical. The idea behind this is two-fold: -First is to prevent the weight of the cables from pulling on the Vive breakout box during gameplay causing them to loosen up. -Second, in case someone trips over the wires or swings their arms into them, the tab will take the brunt of the force, not the cables. If anything breaks, it will be the cable tie or the tab and not the breakout box.
