About this print
A desk cable management holder that prints as a single piece, with a captive inner barrel that rotates inside an outer barrel to grip cables securely without needing a wall or surface as a support. Tabs on the underside allow the holder to clip over a desk edge, with a small protrusion for extra grip. The design is customisable for different cable diameters. PLA provides the rigidity needed for the rotating barrel mechanism.

I was inspired by the Customizable Cable Holder by xifle to create a captive version that did not require a wall to hold the cables in place and to show off the capabilities of a 3d printer. This rendition of the cable holder prints as a single piece with an inner barrel captive in the outer barrel and able to rotate. The cable is placed in the inner barrel and then the barrel is rotated to capture the cable in place. no wall required! the tabs that hold it to the table also include a small protrusion for a better grip on the edge. This thing is also completely customizable through the thingiverse customizer (my first customizable thing!)

The STL file is for a 5 mm diameter cable (most USB cables) and table with a 19 mm thickness, tolerance is 0.5 mm.

Printing Captive Customizeable Cable Holder
For Captive Customizeable Cable Holder we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
