Desk Cable Rack — Pegs or Pole Variant (Parametric)

A desk-side rack for charging cables, headphone leads, and small props. Bbox 200 × 150 × 100 mm with a solid 20 mm base for stability — heavy enough that a hanging cable doesn't tip it.

Two variants — pick one (or print both)

• cable_rack_pegs.stl — 6 horizontal pegs (Ø 14 × 70 mm) with small sphere caps so cables don't slide off the ends. Each cable hooks over its own peg.

• cable_rack_pole.stl — single full-length pole (Ø 20 mm) with a 65 mm horizontal shelf behind it. Cables drape over the pole; the shelf is both a back-stop and a print support so no overhang supports are needed.

Pole / peg height = ~67 mm above the desk surface (2/3 of total H).

Print

Both STLs are pre-rotated into print orientation (laid on the back face). Bed footprint 200 × 100 mm, build height 150 mm.

• 0.2 mm layer height, 3 walls, 15 % infill

• PLA or PETG — both work

• No supports needed in either variant

• Bambu Lab P2S or any 0.4 mm FDM

Pegs become vertical cylinders during printing (sphere caps on top). The pole becomes a horizontal cylinder fully supported from underneath by the shelf web — that's why the shelf exists.

Source

cable_rack.scad is parametric. Top-of-file variables:

• variant = "pegs" | "pole"

• orient = "use" | "print" (print = laid on back for the bed)

• L, W, H (defaults 200, 150, 100)

• t_base, t_back (20, 15)

• pegs: peg_d, peg_len, n_pegs, peg_cap_d

• pole: pole_d, Y_pole, shelf_t
