The rubber piece come from an old connection I reuse it. But not on all part I use. I had only 2 rubber piece...
You can use the connector without 

No, I don't think so. The plastic connector will not stay in place without something like an o-ring or rubber bushing. The rubber parts you are reusing are proprietary to your specific brand of cables. What I see in your photo are in no way common or universal across cables or housings. Does your housing have a rubber bushing or connector built in? Also not common or universal.

It's a standard "INON" hole on the side of the housing. and no problem it stay on place.
The cables are standards I bought in the past... but the connector was broken.. that's the reason I build new one 

I try first make "complex" design...  but the simpliest ist at the end the best... 

 

If the hole for the cable ist to big you can increase the density of the print you will reduce the hole... and the cable will stay on place

TPU can also be a good choice for this kind of connectors.

 

Yeah. I posted at article with a design for TPU based plugs. Two designs. 90 degree elbow connector with TPU tip. 180 degree straight connector 100% TPU.
