soundmanjohn Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Hi there 3D print fans: here are a couple of files for push-on low profile end caps for the Neutrik XX series of connectors i.e. the ones with the internal threads. There are two versions, one for F and for M connectors: the cable entry gap on this version is 5mm ( about 1/5th"). I can do larger or smaller, if required. I recommend printing at 100% fill with a robust filament. All the best, John Neutrik Short XLR F Plug V5 5mm Cable.stl Neutrik Short XLR M Plug V5 5mm Cable.stl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izen Ears Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 Awesome work!! It would great if this stuff was available already printed. They would absolutely sell. At this point, I think all of our production sound houses should have a 3-D printed section! I see this as a gap in our market that isn't being filled anywhere.

Derek H Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 Izen, you need a buddy with a 3D printer! It’s a serious hobby and has a pretty high learning curve from what I can tell. Talk to Gotham, pretty sure they do some 3D printing in house. I have some low profile XLR cables from them that use their own printed caps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobi A Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 Do the caps screw into the shell thread? Wouldn’t the cable then get all twisted and possibly break at the solder connection? Or do you glue the caps on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rillie Posted Sunday at 01:20 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 01:20 PM I guess you could reverse twist the cable approximately the number of turns required and screw it in. Not ideal but probably workable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izen Ears Posted Sunday at 09:38 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:38 PM It looks like they might snap in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundmanjohn Posted Monday at 11:12 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 11:12 PM Yes, it's just a push fit: really simple, no strain relief, so mainly for installations, rather than stuff that gets moved around a lot. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
