Parametric Cable Clip Plug-in Tab / Flap

📌 Parametric Cable Clip (4mm) with Plug-in Tab / Flap

Do you know this feeling? You want to run a thin cable (e.g., from an LED strip, a sensor, an iPhone charging cable, the thin cable of the Ubiquiti G3 Instant, or a normal USB cable) neatly along the wall, but you don't want to drill holes or use unsightly adhesive pads that come loose after a few weeks?

This smart, minimalist cable clip solves the problem! It simply uses the minimal gap between your wall and a screwed-on baseboard, trim, or cabinet. The thin tab is simply inserted in between – holding super securely, without any tools or damage.

⚙️ 100% Parametric (Use the MakerWorld Customizer!)

The model is completely parametric. If your cable is thicker or the gap behind your trim is particularly narrow, you can perfectly tailor the model to your needs here on MakerWorld by clicking on "Customize" (Customizer)!

Key Parameters at a Glance:

• Cable Diameter (kabel_d): Determines the thickness of the cable. Default set to 4.0mm (perfect for iPhone cables, G3 Instant, etc.).
• Wall Thickness (wand): The thickness of the clip arms. Influences how tight the clip sits and how much it springs.
• Opening Factor (oeffnung_faktor): Determines how wide the top of the clip is open (value between 0.70 and 0.85). A smaller value holds the cable more securely but requires more force to push in.
• Tab Thickness (faehnchen_dicke): Default 1.0mm. If your trim sits extremely close to the wall, you can simply reduce this value to 0.8mm or 0.6mm.
• Tab Length (faehnchen_laenge): Determines how deep the tab slides behind the trim (Standard: 20mm for optimal hold).
• Clip Depth (klammer_tiefe): The width of the entire clip along the cable (Standard: 8mm).

🛠️ Features & Design Highlights

• Perfect for 4mm Cables: In the default settings, ideal for most common charging and device cables.
• Clever Clamp Mounting: The plug-in tab disappears invisibly behind any trim.
• 100% Support-Free: The model is designed to lie flat on the print bed and requires no support structures. Quickly printed, ready to use.
• Optimized for PETG: The geometry is chosen so that the clamp is flexible enough when pushing in the cable, without wearing out or breaking.

🖨️ Print Recommendations (Print Settings)

• Material: PETG highly recommended (for the necessary flexibility and durability of the clamp).
• Orientation: Lay flat on the print bed (as set in the profile).
• Layer Height: 0.16mm or 0.20mm.
• Infill: 100% (absolutely sensible for maximum stability at this component size).
• Walls: At least 3 wall lines, so that the clamp arms are printed solid.
• Temperature Tip: Print the PETG at the upper limit of your filament (e.g., 240°C) and slightly reduce the part cooling fan – this ensures extremely strong layer adhesion so that the clamp does not break along the layers when clipping in.
