This is a simple model to plug the whole left from drilling my garage wall to fit the a Starlink (first gen) cable.   Because the 1st gen cable is a single piece physically attached to the dish I needed to drill a few 25mm wholes to get the cable and it's adapters through.  That left a rather ugly hole in the wall which would attract little critters, and I had no interest in buying the over priced Starlink adapter.  

The adapter is a 5cm diameter with an internal filler diameter of 25mm.  I have 2 blender files and STLs uploaded here for a generous (v3) and a tight cable fit (v4).  To make the filler sizes whatever you need just adjust the cutter object dimensions and it should be good to go.

I printed this on Overture TPU (Space Gray) using the AmazonBasics TPU profile on a MK3s+. Print time was 1.5hr.  TPU is required as you'll need the flexibility to insert the cable as well as to form fit the filler to the hole in the wall.  No adhesives required (at least for my install) so it is super easy to remove/replace.

You may need a mallet to persuade the filler to fully insert (which is intended to provide a better fit).  You could also make the slit much smaller but the size worked out fine as you can see in the images.
