Hang your frequently used cables with this mount and forget tangling!

This is another iteration of my revolving cable mount.

I have designed this iteration modular so you can make it as long as you would need.

To mount it you have multiple options:

  • screw with a 4 mm countersunk screw/bolt
  • attach with a doublesided tape or with velcro (3M's CommandTape is my favorite solution for apartments where you cannot drill a thing)
  • clip it to a standard DIN rail with the provided DIN rail mounts

The cable mount hole has a 6 mm internal diameter which is enough for standard USB cables as well as for the braided thicker ones.

The total gap for the dovetails is 0.3 mm wide which results a perfect (=not too tight - not too loose) fit on my Prusa MINI+.

Assembly / usage HOWTO: https://youtu.be/eLzzeDvo2dI

This is my favorite hanging cable mount so far - I hope you will like it too.

Update 2021-01-12:

  • added optional back rail option (2 versions, with or without dovetail) to keep the components together
  • generated male part with 6 and 8 mm ring height (you might find the taller ones more useful in case if you have bigger hands)
  • added dovetail to DIN rail mount so you can use as many as you wish

Print instructions

All the parts are designed as FDM printable without supports.
