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

for the wire, i used 30 gauge silcone wire.

I sourced measurements for the connector from this:
