I have a lot of cables going to and from my TV, which is suspended from the ceiling, and goes to my sound system and cable box, which is down the wall and over from the TV. I had to cut holes in the ceiling and wall to fish the cables, and wanted something to hide the holes and let the cables pass through.
I've loaded 2 items here - one for the wall, and one for the ceiling. The wall version allows the cables to pass down into the room, and because it's near the floor, you can't see up into it. The ceiling version, however, needed a bit more to hide the cables and hole, so I put in a "comb-like" set of teeth to help hide things. I got some photos of the wall version before installing it, but forgot to take photos of the ceiling version before install - so all you get there is the post-install photo.
Both of them work the same way - a base plate screws to the wall, and a cap screws to the base plate. In the case of the ceiling, I both screwed and glued the plate (since all i was going into was sheetrock, and I didn't want to deal with stripping out the sheetrock hole). For the wall version, I fished a couple of 1" wood blocks through the hole and used wood glue and clamps to glue the blocks to the two sides of the hole - so when I screw the wall base plate on, the screws are going through the sheetrock and into wood, so I didn't need to glue the baseplate on.
The wall version has a small loop on the inside - I put that there to tie ropes to. I have some cables that are no longer used, and rather than push them back into the hole and not be able to retrieve them later if I need them, the purpose of the hole is clip in a string ties to the end of the cable, so I can pull it back out if I ever need to. That made more sense to me than either removing the cable, or shoving it back and and having to fish for it later.
The caps for both versions screw to the baseplate with #6 wood screws. I used 3/4" long screws, but the holes are deep enough that you could use 1" screws instead.
All parts are printed in the orientation shown, and no supports are needed.
