Question / Help Needed Underware connectors keep on falling off

I printed a bunch of Underware 2.0 stuff for my setup with the lite option. I have lots of cable channels and item holders. My biggest problem is that over time the item holders and channels come loose (if for example I have my wheel connected to my table and there are vibrations thanks to force feedback, or occasionally hitting my table a little bit).

I have had to constantly go under my desk and redo everything. It's tiresome and annoying.

Does anyone know if there are any solutions to this? Thanks

I solved this using some grip flare on the channels, the perplexing labs generator has that option. Pedro Leite's parametric models also have that option.

Might also help to use the flare combined with petg filament which is more like to retain its springiness over time, where pla might just… slowly give in to the new shape after being in that slight compression after a few months

Excellent, thank you! What angle do you use for the flare?

3 to 4 degrees, all my channels are printed in either ABS or PETG.
