Customizable Cable Holder V2 (Parametric)

A fully customizable cable holder designed with OpenSCAD. You can freely adjust cable thickness, slit width, height, number of units, screw holes, and more to perfectly fit your needs.

Features

Parametric Design: Adjustable dimensions to fit any size from thin USB cables to thick power cables.
Smooth Slit: Twisted slit shape ensures cables are held firmly while remaining easy to insert.
Screw Holes (Optional): Flexible options to add screw holes for mounting on walls or desks.
Multi-Unit: Generate 1 to 24 holders in a single print.
Support-Free Printing: Designed to be printed without supports in most configurations.

Customization Parameters

The model can be customized using the following parameters in OpenSCAD or MakerWorld Parametric Model Maker.

Parameter Variable	Default	Description
holder_height	15	Height (thickness) of the holder block. (mm)
wall_thickness	3	Thickness of the clip walls. (mm)
cable_dia	8	Diameter of the hole that holds the cable. (mm)
entry_gap	4	Width of the angled slit for inserting the cable. (mm)
flex_cutout	4	Width of the side cutout to control clip flexibility. (mm)
unit_count	4	Number of connected clip units (1-24).
clip_spacing	0	Spacing distance between adjacent clips. (mm)
screw_dia_outer	0	Diameter of screw holes on the outer flanges (mm, 0 to disable).
screw_type	"C"	Type of screw hole. "H": Straight Hole, "C": Countersunk.
screw_edge_margin	1	Margin distance from the edge of the part to the center of the screw hole. (mm)
screw_print_support	"B"	Overhang printing support. "O": Normal Overhung, "B": Bridge (recommended for no-support printing).
screw_dia_between	""	Comma-separated list of diameters for screw holes located between clips (mm, e.g., "3.0, 4.0").
screw_dia_inner	""	Comma-separated list of diameters for screw holes located inside the cable cylinders (mm, e.g., "2.5").
embed_size_text	false	If true, engraves the main parameter values on the back of the model.
screw_hole_overhang_angle	60	Maximum angle for screw hole overhang generation. (deg)

About Embed Size Text

When embed_size_text is set to true, key parameter values are engraved on the back of the model. This feature helps identify settings from the printed object when printing multiple models with different parameters.

The engraved text format consists of the following 3 lines:

holder_height, wall_thickness
cable_dia, entry_gap, flex_cutout
clip_spacing

Sample Settings

Below are the parameter values for the provided samples.
