Ikea PLATSA/22mm cable hole/grommet/entry

It's a thing you put in a 68mm diameter hole, so it looks nice if you stuff cables through it 🤷. It also adds a lid-thingy which prevents your cable(s) from falling back through the hole again.

I made it for the Ikea PLATSA (HJÄLPA) shelfs, with a thickness of 22mm. But obviously it works for anything that is 22mm thick. Which coincidentally is a highly common thickness for shelfs, desks and the like.

If using a PLATSA, when drilling a 68mm hole in the back, make sure you drill the center of the hole at least 75mm from the back of the shelf and 50mm from the side. Otherwise you are drilling into it's wooden support beam.

If this helps you out, please like, rate and/or share a picture of the result! Otherwise, please leave a comment with feedback 😉
