One of the design trade-offs when building the BeagleY-AI to conform to a Pi 5 form factor as well as it does was to place the tag-connect JTAG interface for the SoC between the two banks of USB 3.0 ports. As a result, the original retainer clips that come with TagConnect cables do not fit unless you shave down the clip PCB and even then, it’s hard to put in/remove.

To get around this, I’ve designed a simple to print 3D printable piece that serves the same purpose and provides a handy grabbing point so you an can easily insert/remove it.

Both PLA and PETG have been fine but I would avoid printing in something like ABS due to risk of it warping/shrinking and affecting the dimensional tolerance of the holes.

These prints come out perfectly on my Bambu X1C in both PETG and PLA as mentioned above, but you may need to play with scaling depending on the tolerances/calibration of your individual printer and filament.

Happy Printing and Debugging (with JTAG not the print) !
