BNC Plug Cover

[V2 Text]
Did some updates to the design:

• Added a much grippier snap together tab. This took a couple of iterations to get right. Initially it was very tight, but now I think provides a pretty decent balance of security and open-ability. You'll need a coin or spoon or something to pop it open to begin with. It may start off very tight, but does seem to loosen up a bit after a few open/close cycles.
• Made the pry-gaps a little bigger- to facilitate the spoon/coin opening.
• Added a small hole at the top of each of the ribs- add a string to keep both halves tethered together- and to the coax if you like.

• Added a small dent half way down each rib- so you can add an elastic band if you decide to trim down the snap together nubs a bit too much. Let me know if you find this useful?

  Just a simple snap together protective cover to protect BNC plugs while on the end of coax. I was always worried about denting the sleeve, or getting dirt/sand inside the end of a BNC when coiling up coax and the end is flopping about.

  This is designed specifically for 5mm OD coax, and M&P BNC Connectors and provides a loose fit to the connector.

  The snap together action works, but may not be strong enough for use on the field. It may need some refining. I was also thinking i could make each half the same- i.e. with a male and female tab to save having to print one of each.

  STL file for slicing, OBJ file for easy tinkering.
