Description

Clamp to mount power strips/boards under desks non-destructively (instead of using a mount that screws into the desk). Helps to organise computer cables, particularly for standing desks. Adjustable width to fit a variety of power strip sizes.

 

Features:

  • Fits desks up to 
    • Regular size: 25 mm/1 inch thick
    • Large size: 50 mm/2 inches thick
  • Fits power strips 60 - 90 mm wide and 35 mm thick
  • Mounts power strips in vertical orientation to reduce interference with desk frames (e.g. standing desks)

Parts:

  • Clamp, screw (large) and pad - main body that clamps to the desk
  • Arm - adjustable lower portion of the power strip mounting area. Raise/lower to fit different power strip widths
  • Screw (small) and nut - fixes the arm in place. Nut fits into the hex nut groove of the arm

Instructions:

  • Pick the clamp size that fits your desk thickness
  • Print two sets (1 of each part) to mount at both ends of your power strip. All parts are shared between the different clamp sizes
  • Insert the hex nut into the groove in the arm
  • Place the arm against the bottom of the clamp and pass the smaller screw through to the nut
  • Pass the larger screw through the clamp
  • Place the pad onto the ball joint of the larger screw. It should snap into place with some pressure
  • Place the clamp onto the desk and tighten the larger screw until the clamp is snugly against the desk. Be careful of overtightening as you may damage your desk surface
  • Loosen the smaller screw and slide your power strip onto the arm. Push the arm up until the power strip fits snugly and tighten the smaller screw again

Print settings:

  • Print as orientated
  • Layer height: 0.16 mm for smoother threads
  • Walls: 2 is sufficient
  • Infill: 15% adaptive cubic is sufficient
  • Supports: not necessary, but may be needed for the hole in the clamp's powerboard mount area depending on your printer's bridging abilities (see below). Easiest to use support blockers under the C clamp threads and let your slicer auto-generate supports for this hole

Notes:

  • I designed the mount to fit the variety of power strip sizes I had. If you have larger power strips (e.g. double row of sockets), feel free to let me know the width and depth so I can adjust the design to fit your use case

Updates:

  • Hex nut changed to square nut for easier tightening (reduced rotation) of the arm
  • Hook added to top part of clamp to stop smaller power strips falling forwards and out
  • Large version of clamp added for thicker desks - fits up to 50 mm/2 inch thickness
