Description

Bring a touch of nostalgic fun to your desk! “The Cable Operator” is a USB cable organizer inspired by a classic rotary telephone dial. The round body lets you neatly wind your USB or charging cables inside, while the front features a vintage-style rotary face with numbered holes and labels.

This design combines old-school aesthetics with modern practicality. It’s perfect for makers who love quirky, conversation-starting desk accessories.

 

Highlights:

  • Retro rotary-phone inspired design
  • Compact, round cable organizer for USB or charging cables
  • Fun conversation piece blending vintage and tech

To remove the cable: pull gently and evenly on both ends at the same time.

 

Assembly & Use Instructions:

  1. 3D-print the parts and assemble them as shown in the exploded view (just snap together).
  2. Caution when attaching the rotary dial: as shown in the detailed image below, make sure the small nose on the dial fits correctly into the groove in the spool.
  3. Rotate the rotary dial until, viewed from the side, a continuous hole through the recess is visible.
  4. Feed the USB cable through this opening until the winder sits exactly in the center of the cable.
  5. Turn the rotary dial to wind the cable neatly inside the organizer.
