Looking to see if anyone has a 3D printer.... want to print out a piece that will clip around the jacked on my PS Audio AC-3 cables and have a space on the outside that the ground pin can clip into to hold it should I remove it.

Love that the ground pin is removeable, but there isnt anyplace to store it on the cable so you dont lose it...

Scunchies and rubber bands look a bit ghetto so I'm looking to see if someone cant create me some "one offs" to do just that....

    My local UPS Store now has a 3D printer for use. Check your local UPS store.

    For storing a ground pin ?

    Dude, get one of those Velcro straps like they use for power tools. Make a little slit in it and push the pin in there, then wrap it around the power cord.

    Love that the ground pin is removeable, but there isnt anyplace to store it on the cable so you dont lose it...

    I store such things in a Ziploc bag in a box in my garage labeled "Original Audio Parts".

    Fixed it for ya. Now you'll never find it when you need it. :D

    Unfortunately I have a bad tendency to put stuff like that somewhere I won't forget. (ya right :disappointed:). Case in point I put the spare safe key and the antenna for my router somewhere I was sure I wouldn't forget, that was 5-6 years ago and haven't found them yet. :blush:

    Sal gets obsessed with whatever catches his fancy at the moment. For a while it was knives, then SDA's and now EV's. He's basically a good guy, it's just that he doesn't realize he's got an addictive personality. Unfortunately for everyone including Sal, the EV thing was a bit over the top.

    Guess I missed all that drama. Love my EV, but some people just go crazy over it.

    Anyway, I have a RigidBot that I've played with some, but that's about as far as it's gone. Been mostly collecting dust. Just been too distracted with other things to do anything truly cool, or useful with it.
