PTFE Cable Grommet, 1-1/2 to 4 inch

Everyone is familiar with the various types of cable grommets for furniture panels. With Conduito, you now have the option to use a version specially optimized for 3D printing. By carefully studying existing models, I developed a variant tailored for 3D printing. This design allows you to produce a cable grommet directly with your own 3D printer.

Conduito is available in a wide range of drill diameters, both in metric and imperial units. The available diameters range from 35 mm to 125 mm and from 1 3/8 inches to 4 3/4 inches. Calculating the diameter of the cable grommet is straightforward: drill diameter minus 10 mm (approximately 0.39 inches). The plate thickness should be at least 15 mm (approximately 0.59 inches).

Additional Download: USDZ File for Augmented Reality

A USDZ file is also available for download as part of this project. The USDZ file is especially useful for virtually placing the model, for example on a table or floor, to check its size, proportions and appearance in the room before 3D printing.

The USDZ format allows you to view the 3D model in augmented reality (AR). Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad and Mac support USDZ files natively, so the file can be opened and viewed directly in Safari, Mail, Messages or the Files app – no additional app is required. Users of other operating systems (e.g. Android or Windows) need a dedicated USDZ viewer or compatible 3D software, such as Adobe Aero or Blender (with USDZ plugin), to view the file.

Filament

When choosing the right filament, you have a variety of options. Depending on your individual requirements and the desired end result, a particular filament type may be particularly suitable. Here's an overview of the recommended filament types and their advantages:

• PLA: This filament is easy to print, environmentally friendly, and offers a good surface quality. It's especially suitable if you value easy processing and a clean print image.
• PETG: PETG combines the best properties of PLA and ABS. It's robust, flexible, and resistant to many chemicals. So if you want a model that's both stable and flexible, PETG might be the right choice.
• ABS: Known for its high strength and durability, ABS is ideal if you need a model that's particularly resistant to mechanical stresses.
• ASA: This filament is UV and weather-resistant, making it ideal for applications exposed to direct sunlight or other weather conditions.
• Nylon: Nylon is extremely robust and flexible, making it an excellent choice for models exposed to high stress.
