3D model description

I made this derivative wire organizer because I wanted a parametric object that I could size exactly rather than an object I had to scale to get right.

This is more inspired by the cable catcher than an actual copy.
This design is also a bit thinner, so it uses less material, without sacrificing much strength.

I've uploaded two sizes, one with a 6mm gap and 9mm hole, suitable for network and video cables, and one with a 7mm gap and 12mm hole, suitable for power cords. (If you've got a favorite size, let me know...)

3D printing settings

1) The default has a base fit for 1/2" sticky tape. If you want to change that, adjust basew at the top of the file, and maybe adjust sidecurve* variables as well to adjust the side shapes. Also, the wall parameter sets the minimum wall thickness.

2) Set hole and gap to fit the wire you want to hang.

3) print the part

4) Sand the bottom smooth if necessary, and attach your adhesive.

5) Attach to the table or desk...
