Twiggy head connector cover to 3D print

[sigma7]

The Twiggy Analog board has two connectors for wires going to the upper and lower heads.

These connectors have a lot of friction and the wires are very thin (fragile), so I worry about damaging the wires when dis/connecting them.

To provide a better grip on the connectors, I added 3D printed covers. I find these make it easier to apply the force necessary and minimize the stress on the wires.

The step file is one half (upper or lower), so print two for each connector. I fastened the upper & lower halves together with screws intended for self-tapping into plastic, but likely any type of screw or bolt could be made to work.

I can imagine improvements such as marking which side is up and front/rear, a ring pull, or even an ejector lever, so the FreeCAD file is included in case someone would like to improve the design.
