I originally had this on Thingiverse but I'm trying to migrate here: 

I've had a standing desk for some time now, and I love being able to stand throughout the day. The problem is, you have to leave a lot of slack on cables for it to work and that doesn't look very nice. Problem number 2 is that I'm a developer and I have 4 computers at my desk plus KVM and a bunch of other crap. All the cable management solutions I found on Amazon aren't really working for me and are sort of wimpy for this many cables. Hence, I made this.

UPDATE 2020-11-14: I installed the v5 on my desk this morning and honestly it works great. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out (still need to organize cables). It's about half full and there's no sign of the joints coming apart when raising or lowering the desk.

UPDATE 2022-03-10: Cable chain v5 is still going strong on my desk. I may make a v6 still but I have moved KVM etc off of my desk into a cabinet so I could probably get away with one of the wimpy cable chains online. 

I'd like to update eventually to use velcro instead of the little bar supports. Holes for screws so you can attach to desk easier. (For now I just velcro through the main hole to a bar on the bottom of my desk, I encourage a remix for this it anyone wants). I would also want slightly tighter tolerances and more of a mesh design for the back.
