Why I built a generator instead of 50 models
Why I built a generator instead of 50 models

The problem: cable management is a sizing problem. Whatever duct you find — printed or store-bought — it's never quite the right width, height, or length for your wall, desk, or workshop.

 

The idea: instead of uploading dozens of fixed-size models, I built a parametric configurator. You enter your dimensions in the browser and it generates exactly the part you need:

  • Straight ducts in any size, millimeter-precise
  • Inside & outside corners, end caps
  • Snap-on covers
  • Wall and cover cutouts, socket covers
  • LED strip channels with diffuser-friendly geometry

The output is print-ready STL and Bambu 3MF — plate layout included, configured in seconds. The photos in this post are real printed results.

 

Where it stands: the project is now in pre-launch on MakerWorld Crowdfunding. Following the campaign is the single most helpful thing you can do right now — it tells me (and MakerWorld) that this should become a full release.

 

Follow the campaign: https://makerworld.com/crowdfunding/305-cableduct-led-channel-configurator

 

You can also try the configurator free in your browser at cforms.org — feature requests in the comments are very welcome.
