This is a no-drill mounting system I designed to hang a power strip under/alongside a desk without damaging or modifying the table in any way.
Instead of screws, glue, or holes, the mount self-supports by clamping against the inner faces of the two desk legs. The power strip sits in two sleeve housings (one on each end). The assembly is held in place by two contact pads (“clamp shoes”): one static and one adjustable.
How it works
The mount spans between the desk legs (in my case, 70 cm apart).
One side is fixed, providing a stable reference.
The other side uses a knurled adjustment collar that drives a small jackscrew, extending a pad to apply controlled pressure against the leg.
To improve grip and protect the desk legs, the contact interfaces use 5 mm thick rubber pads (rubber blocks/dowels). These are not 3D printed and act as a compliant, high-friction surface so the mount stays put without leaving marks.
Non-printed parts
Rubber pads / rubber blocks, 5 mm thick (used as “end retainers” / contact grips against the legs)
(Optional but recommended: add a thin felt/tape layer if your desk finish is particularly delicate.)
Important note about compatibility
The sleeve housings must be adapted to your specific power strip model (dimensions, switch position, cable exit, etc.). The clamping mechanism remains the same, but the sleeve geometry may need small tweaks to match different power strips.
Printing
Suggested settings (typical PETG):
0.2 mm layer height
3-4 perimeters
25–30% infill (gyroid or grid)
