Omega-TI Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Has anyone out there made and printed up a "plug" for the TI's original audio & video output connector hole? I'm going to be in need of one in the next month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 -edit- Oh... you're looking to just plug the hole. Gotcha now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Similar to these: Thanks, but what I'd like is a black piece of plastic to plug the hole. I plan on removing the connector and don't want to leave an open hole, so I figured a 3D printed piece in black would be just the ticket to accomplish that goal. I figured something could be printed up with a raised circle and enough of a lip to super glue it in place on the back side of the case. I figured someone must have done that by now.

You could always draw a circle on piece of black plastic using some sort of compass device, using an xacto knife instead of a pencil. A bit to make and do, but probably cheaper than 3d printing would cost for a one off. That's just the machinist in me talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I suppose I might end up finding a piece of black plastic and using the Dremel to manufacture a suitable piece it I get no joy on my request. Part of my goal is to keep it looking as original & clean looking as possible... just updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Surely something like these hole plugs would make more sense. Possibly, but the perfectionist in me would prefer the "flush look". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Possibly, but the perfectionist in me would prefer the "flush look". You can pick up maybe from an electronic supplier, plugs, similar to what Lee suggested but made of rubber that go into electric supply boxes and project boxes that fit in similar to a wire grommet only no hole. That's pretty flush. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
