Zip Tie Mount – 1.2g, M3 screw

Cable management has never been this lightweight. Literally. 🔩⚡

This tiny zip tie mount weighs only 1.2 grams, but it keeps your cables in check with the determination of a technician on a cleaning spree. It attaches with an M3 screw with a 6 mm head (the one you already have in a jar somewhere) and features easy‑to‑remove supports, because even technical details deserve to be simple.

What’s in the package:

• Ready‑to‑print 3MF file
• Print profile optimized for PLA (already dialed in)

Printing details:

• Supports: Yes, but they’re small and come off in a snap (no engineering degree required)
• Material: PLA works great, but feel free to experiment
• Final weight: About 1.2 g – won’t change your life, but it will change your cables

Why you’ll love it:

• Ultralight: 1.2 grams. If you print in PLA, you’ll barely feel it. If you use something else, it’s still just a few grams.
• Simple mounting: One M3 screw with a 6 mm head, and you’re done. No wall plugs, no drama.
• Zip tie compatibility: Accepts zip ties up to 8 mm wide – the standard ones you probably already have at home.
• Easy supports: They’re there for a reason, but they pop off without tears.
• Versatile: Perfect under the desk, behind the TV, or in that cable drawer we all pretend we don’t have.

Perfect for:

• Anyone who wants to banish the cable jungle under their desk 🧹
• 3D printing enthusiasts looking for quick, useful projects ⚡
• Gifting a friend (or yourself) a little bit of order in mini format 🎁

How to print:

1. Download the 3MF file
2. Open your slicer – the print profile is already set up
3. Print with supports
4. Remove the supports (takes less than 10 seconds)
5. Mount it using an M3 screw with a 6 mm head
6. Thread a zip tie (max 8 mm wide) through, secure your cables, and admire your new‑found order

Pro tip: Print in black for a stealth look, or go fluorescent pink – cables don’t judge.
