BS1363 UK Plug Replacement Cable Grip / Relief

Overview

A replacement cable grip (strain relief) designed to secure the wiring inside a standard UK mains plug. Over time, these small plastic brackets can snap or get lost, making the plug unsafe as the wires can be easily pulled out of their terminals. This quick print restores the functionality of your plug.

Print Recommendations

- Material: ABS is strongly recommended due to its thermal resistance and durability, which are important for components in electrical fittings. - Infill: 100% . The part needs to withstand the mechanical clamping force of the screws securing the cable, so a solid part is necessary to prevent it from cracking. - Supports: None required.

Safety Warning & Best Practice

- The Safest Option: While this printed part functions as a replacement grip, standard BS1363 UK plugs are very inexpensive. The safest and most recommended course of action when dealing with a damaged plug is to replace the entire plug assembly with a new, factory-certified unit. - Installation Safety: If you choose to use this printed part, please ensure the plug is completely disconnected from the mains power before opening the casing. Always ensure the grip clamps down tightly on the thick outer insulation sleeve of the cable, never on the inner colored wires.
