A creative new project allows PlayStation enthusiasts to customize their PS5 USB-C cables with housings inspired by classic PlayStation controller connectors.

I'd be more worried about breaking that poor type C connector. Unless that plastic appendage got something holding it on the other hand (which I suspect not).

If you’re referring to the weight of the housing leveraging the connector, I think printing with a low infill would make that a non-issue. The cable itself is going to be much heavier by comparison

I'd be more worried about all the accidental nudging that can happen. This probability would increase dramatically with that bigger target area. The retro connectors that inspire this thing all have some support structure that protect against impact.
