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
- 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).
- Insert your cable. There's a slight taper to the cable slot so that you can snug most typical cables down into the base.
- Screw on the cap.
- Use multiple cord stays to route your cable however you like.
