I had a problem. I used #3dPrinting to make a tool. I no longer had a problem!

These #shelly pro 1 relays were in a tight box and I wanted to make a wired connection to my switch. I couldn’t get the RJ45 plug to line up without messing with the other wiring.

So, I fired up #OpenSCAD, grabbed my calipers, and had a design in 15 minutes. 10 minutes of printing and my tool worked the first time.

The first cable w/o the tool? 15 minutes.
Cables 2-5? 15 minutes total.

Slide the connector into one end.Push it to the other end, it’s tight to the strain relief, allowing you to position the RJ45 accurately.Manipulate the cord as needed!
