made for the lcd deck - the dimensions of the cable of the oled version seem to be different. if i get the correct numbers of the plug from someone, i can update this model. otherwise please remix it yourself, link below]

[remix with an advanced version - stronger, both angles in one print and still lightweight]

useful if you don't like the dangling power cable stressing the usb-c port. or if you have a stand with an usb-c dock with a short and stiff cable (dockteck d00003 7in1 in my case with this nice stand). 

the popular 90° adapters put even more leverage on the port, so i designed a little helper to make kind of a 180° adapter.

it sits close enough on the deck to prevent lots of tension/leverage/turning force.

a test print with 0.30 resolution and 5% infill worked, the model in the pictures was printed with 0.10 resolution and 40% infill and ironing and seam in the rear.
