Description
Overview and production context
This 3D model represents a practical, minimalist tool designed for cable management and straightening. It is a solid rectangular block with smoothly rounded edges, measuring approximately 120x40x15 mm. The top surface features a single row of eight parallel through-holes, each 6.5 mm in diameter, perfect for guiding and straightening various cables. Each hole is equipped with a 3.5 mm wide slot for easy cable insertion. The interior edges of the holes are smoothly filleted to ensure cables are not damaged during use. For added convenience, an 8mm lanyard hole is integrated into one end, and ergonomic finger grips are sculpted into the sides for a comfortable hold. The design prioritizes clean CAD geometry, making it ideal for flat FDM printing without the need for supports.
How to use this model
Use cases, fit and pre-production checks
This model is specifically designed for 3D printing, with optimized geometry for flat FDM printing without supports. It can be printed at its native scale or scaled up or down to suit specific needs, though maintaining the hole diameters is crucial for functionality. Recommended materials include PLA, PETG, or ABS for durability. The tool is excellent for organizing workspaces, entertainment centers, or any area with multiple cables. Its compact size also makes it suitable for inclusion in DIY electronics kits or as a functional prop in game development and AR/VR applications where cable management is a visual or interactive element. The clean, geometric design also lends itself to being a simple desk accessory or display piece.
