Description

Tips not required but welcomed on my KO-FI: https://ko-fi.com/buttervonwaffleI designed this USB cable retainer for my IBM Model M keyboard conversion. The goal was to securely hold the new cable while preserving the keyboard’s original factory appearance as much as possible.The design uses two identical printed pieces that fit together to form the complete retainer. It is designed for a standard USB 2.0 cable and includes enough clearance for the cable to flex without being pinched.For installation, I used two small spots of hot glue to hold the pieces together.The model can be printed without supports and should work with any filament material.
