Cable Organizer Ties (Super easy - 150+ sizes!)

This is super easy and fast to print, and to help with all the cables in your drawer. Print 6-8 in an hour. It's also super easy to use. Easy to tighten and open - just print a bunch and start organizing!

Please share your makes here on PrusaPrinters - would love to see the model come to life other places too!

How to use

Slide the thin end through the ‘lock’ (like a normal zip-tie) and then outwards to the locking position. Try it - it's easy! 

Kit overview

There are different lengths (for different amount of cable, and different build plate sizes), and there are different thicknesses for different materials. I suggest you print some of the small ones in different thicknesses to test what you prefer in your selected material, before printing a lot of them :-D (I only have access to PLA right now, and found that 0.2 and 0.4 mm thickness worked fine - I prefer 0.2 mm as I think they will last longer due to the flexibility)

They are organized in folders for you to easily find them.

(Unfortunately they aren't in alphabetical order here on PrusaPrinters. But if you just download the complete kit/folder, you can sort them alphabetically and easily find what you need)

Max Lengths

Below is the max lengths for Prusa Printers:

Prusa Mini :

• 170 mm (straight placement - print multiple at a time!)
• 230 mm (diagonally - print 1 at a time)

Prusa MK3 / MK3S / MK4 (calculated estimate only - haven’t got an i3 style - yet... :-P):

• 240 mm (straight placement - print multiple at a time!)
• 300 mm (diagonally - print 1 at a time)

Print instructions

They are simple and quick to print. It’s works just fine with PLA.

• Placement: Placed flat on the buildplate
• Supports: No
• Perimeters: Consider increasing the perimeters for more 'print lines' along the print instead of infill diagonally - to make the print stronger when flexing it

If you have access to something other than PLA to print with, I would really appreciate a comment on how they work with other filament too! I'll implement it in the project description for others to benefit from!

I hope you like them, and that they might help you to finally organize all of those cables in the messy drawer!

At least it was fun for me to join yet another designcontest - and actually get a nicer cable drawer afterwards!

Happy printing!
