This plug significantly reduces the amount of space occupied by cabling when connecting to a usb charger (see pictures). When pushing in the 16 gauge copper wire, it should be tight. It helps to rotate the connector when applying pressure on the wire when inserting.

 

I printed mine w/ PETG @ 0.1mm layer height

 

for pins connecting to charger, i used 16 gauge solid core copper wire
