Description

Design Overview

I made a rigid cable organizer for underneath my desk, you can use it for various other applications as well that require protection and organization of cables. The design consists of a hinge, a door that you can open to access the cables inside, and a self-snapping latch that keeps the door closed. The parts all interlock together by opening the door, and sliding one into the other, and then closing the door. I have also included a clip that can better bind two parts together in case while you are working on cable management they uncouple from each other.

Part Selection

There are several different types of parts to choose from. The channels come in two different sizes, a 20x40x40mm one, and a smaller 20x20x40mm one for when you have less cables to manage. Each size is fully compatible with the binding clips. They also each have different angled variations that go left, right, backwards and forwards at 30 and 45-degree angles. I have also included variations with a hole in the back for passing cables in and out of the chain and also included adapters to change between sizes.

 

Printing Overview

When printing these parts, the only ones that you won't have to use any supports on are the straight ones, as they are designed to have minimal overhangs and will print just fine on most printers. The other specialized parts will probably require supports, so add them at your own discretion. These parts are also print-in-place, so you can just print the file provided, but YMMV with layer heights other than 0.2mm. In terms of walls, you should make sure the wall count is at least 3 when using a 0.4mm nozzle to ensure an intended structural integrity. In terms of infill, 20% would be fine for most cases, but depending on how upset you get while managing cables, you might have to raise that to 100%. Lastly for the material, using PLA is perfectly fine and gets the job well done.
