Retractable Charging Cable Organizer, 80cm Cable Length
Print Profile(1)
Description
This retractable cord organizer is designed based on the illustrated retractable cord. This single-sided retractable cord measures 55x55x23mm (external dimensions), with a fixed length of 20cm and a retractable length of 80cm. It incorporates an eMark chip; while the maximum amperage hasn't been specifically tested, it's advertised to handle 100W. Lacking high-wattage testing equipment, I haven't tested 100W, but it supports at least 65W.
My version uses three retractable cords, but I've also adapted it for two to five cords—choose as needed. The model's default fastening method is adhesive or M3 countersunk self-tapping screws; however, I use M3x5x5 heat-set nuts as shown. The STEP file is included, allowing modification of the base fastening method.
You can purchase these cords using image search or the Alibaba link provided. They are priced at approximately $23 each, with default connectors of USB-A to Type-C or USB-A to Lightning. Negotiating with the seller might yield C-to-C or C-to-L versions. Third-party sellers on Taobao or Pinduoduo offer them, but at $30–40 each, they're overpriced and not recommended.

Note: The base has been incised to prevent warping from long straight lines. For bridging, a 45° rotation is recommended; otherwise, direct printing might result in bridging failure and drooping.
PS: I've also created a version for 41x41x13mm cords, but note that the retractable length is only 70cm. They cost about $13 each on Alibaba; consider this option only if the shorter length suffices.
