Hello fellow LinnStrumentalists!

I made a slidable-cable-pull-strain-relief-thingy because I'm carrying the instrument around the house and practising both sitting and standing. I'm changing the cable quite a bit and wanted to have a fast solution to tying the cable to the strap button.

It turned out quite sturdy!
I tried yanking the cable from all logical directions and even dangling the whole LinnStrument in the air (there's absolutely no reason you should do this :lol:) and it kept holding nicely.

If you have an access to a 3D printer (your local library might have one), it takes just 40-50 minutes to print.

Here are the files:

(I also provided all the original + STEP files in case someone wants to remix it)

To complement your hybrid workflow, I suggest using a D'Addario Auto Lock Guitar Strap. When I was first experimenting with a fully portable LinnStrument setup, I used one in Skater Black to quickly switch between keyboard and guitar styles. It only takes a few seconds or less to unclip from each guitar strap button, so your downtime is minimized.
