Cover for CAT 6A LAN Socket (Busch & Jäger LX)

About the Model

This is a custom-designed cover for a CAT 6A LAN socket from Klein. It is specifically made to fit into the Busch & Jäger LX series frames, providing a clean and finished look while securely covering the LAN socket. Whether you're looking to protect the socket, improve aesthetics, or simply complete your installation, this model is designed to meet those needs.

Update

I have now released an updated version of this cover without the central bar and with larger inlet holes for the LAN cable. These improvements make cable routing easier and more flexible, especially for thicker or less bendable cables.

Additionally, I reprinted this part using PETG interface support, which significantly improves the surface quality of floating areas. This method involves using PETG as a supporting material while printing the actual part in a different material, such as PLA or ABS. PETG is an excellent choice for supports because it adheres well to the print while still being easy to remove cleanly afterward. Unlike traditional same-material supports, which can leave rough or uneven surfaces after removal, PETG interface support peels away smoothly, leaving a much cleaner finish. This results in better aesthetics, fewer post-processing steps, and improved mechanical performance for the final part.

Included File Formats

To accommodate various needs, I’ve included the following file formats:

• .3MF: Pre-configured for Bambu Lab X1C for seamless printing.
• .STL: Standard model format compatible with most 3D printers.
• .SLDPRT: SolidWorks format, ideal for anyone who wishes to remix or adjust the design.

Personal Notes

This is a personal hobby project, and I’m sharing it in case others might find it useful. You are welcome to adapt the design to suit your needs. I hope it helps enhance your setup or inspires your creations!
