Yet another cable protector, this time for Lenovo's rectangular slim plugs used on newer ThinkPads. The middle section of this protector is intentionally left longer than neccesary so cables that have already been repaired can fit. It should fit models with and without ferrite core filters. The design contains a single shell, you'll need two for one cable.
Note: On the second photo the bottom piece has been cut short due to warping. See top or rendering for full length.
*Update 2021*
A few tips I learned over the last years:
* When you just print it, it will only move the point of cable failure. This is fine for me, since there it is easier to repair, but don't mistake this for a infallible solution to this problem
* You might have luck if you use a semi-flexible filament or applying semi-flexible glue to take some movement from the cable
