I needed away to neatly manage multiple cords behind a french cleat mounted board with all of my chargers on it.  I only had a half inch of space to do so, and really didn't want a rats nest of cords for the 6 different chargers I had back there, thus was born the cord genie.  The cords I used all seem to have similar dimensions, so same form was useful for all.  

Basic design has a hole large enough for a 2 prong plug to pass through the bottom up, usign the tunnel to either side to store the cord underneath.  The plate than can be secured with a #6 bugle head screw to the wall if desired.  After securing as desired, you can then wrap the cord neatly into the spiral, ‘exiting the loop’ of storage to set the length of cord needed (or not needed).  The genie will store up to 6' of cord, which seems to be a common length.

As the initial need only needed to be functional, I made a lidless variety originally, but then thought, this would be handy to manage cords to say a tv or similar, so I made a lidded version also.

As I wanted it to be strong, I made 2 variants based on nozzles, either a 0.6 or 0.4 (6n & 4n respectively), that is meant to be used with a 0.66mm/0.44mm extrusion width, and will give a nice multiple (3 for .6, 4 for .4) of walls.

I printed these with no supports, but I did have to vary the extrusion height to make sure the tunnels underneath where bridging correctly, although probably not necessary to worry.
