Universal design, but built for room-scale VR cable management. Works way better than simple cable retractors on their own. 

Simply hinge open a snatch block and insert a cable or rope up to 7mm in diameter (or 14mm for XL version). Then clip a pulley in line with a retractor, or fix a pulley directly to a rigid mounting point. A rubber band, hair tie, or keychain clasp can add layer of rotation too.

VR Tips:
  • A wrap of velcro or a zip tie should be added about 18 inches away from the headset to prevent a pulley from coming to close to a user's head. 
  • A single traditional downward-pulling retractor near your computer may be needed to pull slack through the whole system away from the user.
Requirements:
  • 1x 608ZZ bearing 
  • 1x M3 x 18mm (25mm for XL) machine screw with Nylock nut
  • 3x M2 x 8mm (10mm for XL) countersink self-tapping/wood screw (can sub with glue)
Update:
  • Added XL version for cables/ropes up to 14mm in diameter.
