The original is amazing, I rebuilt it in CAD in preparation to organize my own box of cables.  There are a few tweaks that I think are nice:

  • Bigger clearances
    • The hinge won't stick or break as easily
    •  
  • Different latching mechanism
    • More positive engagement, easier to open
    •  
  • The cavities in the core piece go all the way through
    • Faster print
    • No bridging
    • Less material
    • Easier to operate
    • Built-in handle or hanger
    •  
  • Larger, flatter design
    • Larger bend radius = less damage to cables
    •  
  • Parametric design
    • Customize the cable diameter, bend radius, wall thickness, height, octagon vs hexagon, etc

I recommend disabling brims and supports for this model

As usual, post your make or feedback in the comments! I want to know if the parts fuse together or the latch is too tight or too loose
