Description
These Concealed USB Cable Trim Rings (2 sizes) are used to hide drill holes when concealing a USB cable in the wall. They were designed for use with Ring Indoor Cameras, but they can be used for any application where you wish to improve the appearance where a USB (or similar) cable passes through a wall.
The Concealed USB Cable Trim Ring comes in two parts that slide together over a USB cable - which is then pushed into the wall through a hole that you drill through the wall with a 16mm (~5/8") drill bit. RTV Silicone or similar adhesive may be used to hold the Concealed USB Cable Trim Ring in place if needed.
Two sizes of the Concealed USB Cable Trim Ring have been provided:
* one version is designed for the 6.5 foot Ring Camera USB power cable that comes with the camera - with a 3.3mm (~1/8") passthrough hole (file names start with "ringCablePlug3_3mm-2c")
* the other version is designed for the thicker 10 foot Ring Camera USB power cable (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BB3JKGBQ) that Amazon sells separately - with a 4.3mm (~5/32") passthrough hole (file names start with "ringCablePlug4_3mm-2c")

PrusaSlicer 3MF files are provided for two Concealed USB Cable Trim Rings of each size using generic PETG.
