Description

These cord stays will help you tidy up your visible cables and look great doing it (the cord stays, I mean, but I'm sure you'll look great too).

The design

  • Available in three sizes to fit a variety of cables
  • Circular for a clean and consistent look no matter the angle
  • Slightly tapered cord opening to hold your cable gently, but firmly
  • Optimized threads for easy printing and reliability
  • Counter-bored screw hole
  • Press-fit 6x2 magnet recess in the base for magnetic surfaces (good for small cables on magnetic surfaces)
  • Parametric files provided for easy adjustments

Sizes

  • Small: Suitable for USB and other similarly sized cables
  • Medium: Great for most power cords, HDMI cables, and similar
  • Large: Best for appliances, power strips, and other thicker cords

To use

  1. Attach the base piece to your surface. You can use screws, adhesive, or magnets. You can optionally press a 6x2 magnet into the base from the top (best for small and light cables).
  2. Insert your cable. There's a slight taper to the cable slot so that you can snug most typical cables down into the base.
  3. Screw on the cap.
  4. Use multiple cord stays to route your cable however you like.

Small Cord Stay
Printed the small version for USB cables and a 50% scaled version of it for a fridge thermometer cable. Perfect.
