This USB Cable Lock is a lockable clasp for holding and securing USB cables. It is compact, strong, and robust enough that I believe someone would have to be prepared to put in some effort to defeat it. It is a 1-piece print-in-place design.
I recommend printing this in the most durable material you have and can print with. The idea is you want maximum strength. And, to that end, your slicer settings are very important. Don't use the default slicer settings which usually are designed for speed with 2 walls and only 15% infill or so. For all my functional designs especially this one, I recommend a minimum of 4 walls, 5 top and bottom layers, and 40% infill... 100% infill for this product.
Obviously, to be secure this Lockable USB Cable Clasp you need to lock it to something too big to be stolen or moved. A table, a pipe in the wall, a chair, anything heavy and big should do. You will want a strong cable, chain or another means to secure the device that is at least as strong as the lock and the device.
100% printed - no hardware, fasteners, or adhesives required. No additional support is required.
