I really like the openGrid project combined with Underware for cable management under my desk. However, the Underware cable channels don’t hold much weight. If you have heavy cables or anything pulling downward, the channels tend to drop.
To solve this, I initially used a zip tie snap module, which helped:
Unfortunately, it still had issues. The module snaps loosely into the openGrid, so while it holds a bit more load than the channels, it still drops easily once the weight exceeds a certain threshold.
I realized I needed a more secure zip tie / Velcro tie module — one that uses a round-head snap instead of a simple friction fit, making it nearly impossible to pull down under load. This new module does exactly that. After swapping out all the original zip tie modules, the cables now stay securely in place with no issues.
This module was designed in build123d and is open-sourced on MakerRepo under the MIT license. You can find the source code here:
