Best Modular Cable Tamer

InIntroducing an exciting and innovative tool crafted to tame the chaotic “Rat's Nest” of cables tangled among your computers and peripherals! Design your ideal cable gathers with options ranging from 1 to 10 channels, allowing for endless customization based on your specific needs. These modular files are not only user-friendly but also stackable to your desired height, streamlining your organization process.

Select from two dynamic base types: a sleek, understated version for desk cables that adheres using mounting tape, or a broader base featuring countersunk holes designed to accommodate metric 4mm wood screws or #4 imperial wood screws. The .stl files are available in versatile widths of 5, 10, 15, and 20mm, with the 10mm option frequently regarded as the ‘sweet spot’ for optimal performance. Additionally, you can attach a multiport wide single height at the edge of your desk to efficiently manage and store those pesky pull-up USB cables and phone chargers.

For maximum strength during the printing process, I highly recommend employing a 0.4mm nozzle, layering at 0.24mm, and a 25% infill. Print the bottom plate parts with the flat surface on the build plate and the others on the edge. See the image at the top. If you do this, you will have no need for supports.

After dedicating days to calibrating the dimensions to within a hundredth of a mm, I have achieved the perfect fit for my needs. If you find that the fit is too tight or loose, slight adjustments to your printer calibration may be necessary. Dive in and enjoy!
