A cable tidy/spool for an Apple MagSafe (?) charger; designed to be simple and easily removeable. Adapted from NotionalLabs' Charger Cable Tidy (Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2909950); I made some changes to the spool (with mixed results) and tweaked the charger "clamp" for a tighter fit.

I made this to be used without any additional adhesive and I have not tried using it with any adhesives. The fit is already fairly tight as-is; it may be worth changing the model to get a looser fit or sanding down the final print to make adding adhesives easier.

Designed somewhat hastily in TinkerCAD; no plans to make changes at the moment, but the model is available at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/0jIrRbtRH2P (ungroup the object to see the actual shapes).

Note: The two little notches on the flat plate for cable organization were a last-minute addition. The notches in the 3D model are a little smaller than in the print pictured in the images.

 

Print with supports; print with the "flaps" (the actual part that slots onto the charger) facing up for a faster print.
