As I don't have the tools from Shimano or Enviolo and wanted one adjustable I made this one.
92 to 143mm usable.

Should be easier to maintain good tension on cable and housing, while keeping more accurate distance and locking the cable stop.

Should work on nexus 7, Enviolo/Nuvinci 360.

For others type change on the screw is needed. For example some Shimano uses a bigger housing stop and flexible cable protection (alfine and Nexus8)

I included stl, 3mf and FreeCAD file.

Free to you to change.

The 27mm hex is for manual use.

After print, do some pass progressively to wear in threads. Use of graphite powder helps too.

And with 60° degree thread a little tight there is a way to screw: gravity is responsible of this.

→ works but don't pull too hard with third hand. Otherwise the elastic return from housing and levers stops will make the final length too short. Better to pull and hold the cable stop with one hand and lock with the other.

To be fair it is easier to settle internal gear hub by visual, test without cutting cable, reajust if needed and then cut.

I dislike Nuvinci cable locking working with a little screw which you have to destroy if you want to use the hub in real life. 2N.m isn't enough for it: people will force while the wheel isn't turning and the cable will go loose. [2 returns because of this design flaw].
