Parametric Ethernet Plug Cap (Dust Cap)

An SCAD design (my first!) for generating ethernet plug caps; a dust-cap for ethernet switches. The caps fits afemale socket.

It has several parameters:

// Switch properties plug_spacing = 4.2; // Standard ethernet port spacing num_plugs = 8;

// My switch consists of 2 modules of 4 ports each. // There is therefore an additional space between each module module_padding_every = 4; padding_module = 4;

// Cover properties thickness = 1.5; padding_top = 10; padding_bottom = 7; padding_left = 7; padding_right = 7; A finished STL file is included, generated with the above parameters (as pictured).
