I like that idea, and I’d also like to see replacement cables with dimensions on the Micro-USB or USB-C end (depending on camera model) that are identical to the originals.
I have a camera that’s been acting flaky, and I’ve determined that the issue lies specifically with the Micro-USB connector of the original cable. I’ve looked at replacements on Amazon, but I haven’t had any luck so far finding width and height dimensions for the connector housings. I contacted a vendor that looks like its cables might work, but I haven’t yet received a response.
Incidentally, this older topic might be helpful:
Another Forum user mentioned 3D-printing some at the time that gave a good fit. That seems like a good idea for a topic with the 3d-printing tag.
