Description

I was inspired by the LTT cable management arches (not yet released at the time, but featured on WAN Show), and wanted to see if I could design a more flexible solution, both in terms of sizing and literary.

You will need:

Printing:

  • I tested up to a 0.3mm layer height and a 0.6 nozzle and it worked perfectly, no need to go with a smaller layer height.
  • PLA is recommended to minimize warping and lifting of the corners - there are a lot of small parts here that the nozzle could easily knock loose.
  • Z-hop should be on for the same reason.
  • Make sure the bed is clean (same reason).
  • If the nozzle is still knocking stuff off the bed — slow down the print to 75–50%.

Post-Printing

  • Remove the model from the build plate.
  • Put a drop of glue in both magnet holes. Don't use too much glue, or it will splash out or glue your finger to the magnet.
  • Insert the magnets into the holes in the same orientation. This will let you turn the cable holder into a ring what attaches with double strength at a single point.
  • Wait for the glue to dry, then enjoy.
