Keystone insert for blank patch panel rack

Even though there are some inserts on MakerWorld, I decided to create my own, both for completeness with my existing creations (check my profile) and to allow for continuous improvement. In fact, the insert is negligibly priced, making it more cost-effective to buy than to print

Keep in mind that if printed to achieve a clean front, the layers would be poorly oriented, and the clip would break on its first use (a common issue with other online inserts as well)

Conversely, if you print it in the other orientation (the only available print profile), it will last indefinitely. However, the front surface will be less smooth, and one side surface will require careful cleaning due to support material (this side will be hidden, so it's less critical)

I printed about ten iterations to determine the optimal printing method (even resorting to a lighter to achieve a cleaner front surface)

If you have any comments or suggestions, I am always open to them
