Description

Boost Me (for free)

If you like my model, please consider boosting this design.  It's free for you, yet it makes a huge difference for me.  Thanks for helping me keep creating!

 

I have a ton of various small cables.  USB A to C, USB A to Micro, USB C to C, etc…  These cables end up all knotted together in a drawer or storage container and I can never find the cable I'm looking for when I need it.  If I do find the cable I need, it's all knotted together.  I saw some similar cable organizers, but they were too hard to open.  I decided to design my own version that opens more easily.  Hope you find these useful.

 

Please Note:

1: I have printed dozens and dozens of these clips.  I have modified the design to keep improving them.  Yes, sometimes the hinge bonds together and the clip is not usable but doesn't happen often. 

2: Make sure your printer is calibrated properly.  The print in place design has very close tolerances.

3: If you use a heated build plate, it is recommended that you let the build plate and clips cool first before removing!

4: Gently rock the hinge back and forth to break the hinge free.

I printed dozen of these but the hinge doesn’t close properly and on the first attempt to close it it breaks off the joint how can I fix this?

@abhikumar98 Thank you for providing pictures. I'm not sure if it's over extrusion or speed, but from your pictures the layers look to be very bumpy. This is probably causing the hinge to bond together.

Easy print. I used PETG because I have a lot of it and it works well on items that need to flex. Thanks for the model.

These are amazing! Printed 13 bigger clips and 1 small. Plan to print up more smaller ones soon. My charging cables are perfectly organized now.

Have these been removed? I only get .3mf with one plate and the smaller size I printed earlier (and now would need more) does not exist there. Smaller is ~same size as the bigger used to be with "male-female" clip (gray in the pic). I used the tightest option previously. I tried resizing the smaller clip, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75% with increased height, but no. Either clips don't attach at all, or then clip breaks (black clips), despite now printed in PETG instead of PLA. No issues with 100% size (beige clip, PETG as well). And I don't have the old .3mf saved...

All default settings were utilized. Upon attempting to use them, all three clips separated near the hinge and did not function as intended.
