No-glue version added
I made this protector to avoid snapping the latch of RJ45 connector when pulling the cable. It's not perfect - you have to glue it. The reason is print orientation - it has to be printed as shown on the image. It only works on cables with no strain relief.
PLA is brittle but it still works if you don't press it too hard. PETG is preferred.
Keep in mind that it's relatively easy to put it but hard to take it off. If you want to take it off use pliers. Don't break your nails!
Tips for gluing:
PLA - whatever you do it'll probably work, just don't use paper glue. CA glue works ok.
PETG - roughen the surfaces with 120 grit sandpaper or a file. Use CA glue or two part epoxy. If you use epoxy it must be low-viscosity. Don't put too much
PA, PP or similar - good luck. it probably won't work. you may try to touch the two surfaces with soldering iron to melt them and then stick them together to fuse. it's probably not worth the effort. Use PETG.
Update
I added no-glue version with designed support. The support parts that you need to remove are marked in the 3mf file. I printed it. The middle support is very hard to remove. I'll try to fix it.
