ThinkPad Compact Keyboard USB Cable Clamp by shunMakes

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Lenovo ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (KU-1255) suffers from a design defect where its Micro USB port gets loose over time. This clamps snaps onto the back of the keyboard and secures the connection.
There are two sizes provided:
ThinkPad Compact Keyboard USB Cable Clamp v1.stl
ThinkPad Compact Keyboard USB Cable Clamp v1 (loose fit).stl
The first one should be snug for most Micro USB cables which is what you would want. But you can try the loose fit variant if that doesn't work. I recommend printing it vertically with no support (perhaps a brim if necessary).
Only one module is needed if you are using the built-in stands. However, if you want your keyboard to lay flat, you can print two copies.
