Designed this bracket in Fusion 360 to accommodate this specific 4-port USB 3.0 hub and this Recessed 2 port outlet Power Strip from Amazon. 

The bracket snaps into the rear right corner of the Playseat Challenge Sim Racing chair and allows me to strap down and cable manage all the usb and power cables I need for my Fanatec gear right to the chair legs and leaves just 2 cables loose that run from that rear corner to a single power outlet and a single USB connection on the computer. Much cleaner than having a bunch of cables everywhere and multiple USB connections to the computer.

Printing: Recommend to print at 0.24 resolution, 20% infill with the top side against the bed and manually paint supports for the top of the cavities for the USB hub and power strip. Self explanatory if you know how to do this.

Assembly: 

  • The bracket has zip tie points to secure the USB hub and screw holes to screw down the small power strip. 
  • Design also has zip tie points to secure against leg but I found snapping it into the leg tube is enough to keep it all in place with no need to use zip ties there.
  • There is a channel to run the the hub's USB and power cables which runs along the bottom of the bracket and against the seat's rear horizontal tube that allows it to stay hidden so you have to snap it into place after installing and securing those components.
