Easy to print cable protector ramp to protect your cables running across doorways from kids, pets, and robot vacuum cleaners. Includes lengths of 10cm, 15cm and 20cm to match with any door size. Space for 7 normal size cables with maximum diameter of 9mm while only being 17mm tall to fit under most doors. Robot vacuum cleaners will not get tangled into cables running across doorways anymore and thanks to the low profile, they can still easily get over the cover. The top part has ridges to increase strength when stepped on. I printed mine using PETG and I have had no trouble since originally making them several months ago. The bottom part can be screwed to the floor or be fixed with double sided tape. The top part is just snapped on and it is snug enough to not fall off on its own even if it is stepped on. The top part can be removed by sliding to the left or to the right by 15mm.
Print instructions:
Everything printed on Prusa Core One.
I recommend using PETG for the longevity under loads compared to PLA plastics.
Print the two parts separate to each other upright standing on either end as oriented in the files.
I recommend using a 5mm brim to ensure good bed adhesion.
Enable supports for the sides that is missing a part of the lip as shown in the picture.
Using two walls is enough for rigidity as the thin part will be printed solid.
For my first doorway, I printed three 20 cm parts and one 15 cm part and for the other doorway, I printed three 20cm parts.
Update 16.10.2025.
I got some feedback saying that the top pieces might be a bit loose allowing them to slide unintentionally if the pieces are printed using glossy filaments. I made new end pieces that mechanically lock in place to prevent any kind of unwanted movement of the covers while allowing them to be removed in the same sliding motion. To remove the new end pieces, press from the top to add some extra slack on the connector side and slide the top piece to the side. I recommend only printing the new models as end pieces to allow for easy removal of the other pieces. The models can now be found here in End pieces folder and I will add pictures of the new pieces in the next few day.
