Printing Instructions
Small print-in-place mechanism. Proper extrusion matters.
- Material: PLA recommended
- Supports: Not required
- Settings: Default profiles work
Mounting
Attach to the side of a desk or surface using double-sided tape for a clean and simple installation.
Choosing the Right Profile (Recommended)
Start with the Official Profile.
If needed:
- Too tight (hard to close / stuck) → use Loose Fit profile
- Too loose (weak latch / opens too easily) → use Tight Fit profile
These profiles already compensate for small extrusion variations.
Fine Tuning (Optional)
This is a compact precision mechanism — extrusion accuracy directly affects performance.
If you prefer manual adjustment:
- Too tight → reduce Flow Ratio slightly
- Too loose → increase Flow Ratio slightly
Adjust in small steps (±0.05) and reprint if needed.
Each filament behaves differently — even within the same spool over time.
A visual guide is included in the image gallery.
👉 This model can also be used as a quick real-world flow calibration test.
First Use
The first openings may feel firm — this is normal.
Open and close a few times to break in the mechanism.
Note
This mechanism is designed to work best when mounted.
It may feel stiff when handled by hand, but once fixed in place it opens easily and performs as intended.

Description
Keep your cables exactly where you need them.
This print-in-place cable holder is a compact and practical solution to keep charging cables organized, accessible, and within reach on the edge of your desk. No more cables falling behind the table or getting lost.
Designed as a small desk cable organizer, this model works with a wide range of cables (up to ~6 mm diameter), including USB-C, Lightning, and standard charging cables. Its minimal footprint makes it ideal for clean setups, home offices, workstations, and nightstands.
Key Features
- Print-in-place hinge mechanism – no assembly required
- No supports needed – clean and reliable print
- Fast print – ready in about 12 minutes
- Compact design – minimal space, maximum utility
- Secure latch system – keeps cables in place without slipping
- Universal compatibility – fits most common charging cables

How it works
The design uses a precision snap-fit hinge system, allowing the clip to open and close smoothly while maintaining a secure hold on the cable.
Once installed on the edge of a desk or surface, the holder keeps your cable positioned and ready to use at all times.
Installation
Attach the model to the side of your desk using double-sided tape for a simple and clean setup.
