I didn't like how the USB-C connector was left to hold its own, so I created a simple reinforcement boot.

I didn't like how the USB-C connector was left to hold its own, so I created a simple reinforcement boot. Best printed in TPU, but I imagine you can do it in another material if you so choose.

I also attached the .STEP and .F3D exports so you can remix to fit your specific USB-C cable as needed.

The “support” (OrcaSlicer) photos give a hint on how to best print this, with support being painted to the underside center. The model was designed to limit support to just this central location to keep it away from the walls and ease extraction. This area can have an ugly overhang, since it's not seen.
