TPU Bedside Cable Guide

Description

This is an original (and very simple) design that hooks onto a square headboard post and provides a flexible semi-circle used as a cable guide. The entire design is parametric, so if you have differently-sized headboard posts or want a bigger/smaller cable guide, you can easily modify the part.

This part is designed for TPU and isn't meant as a super-strong hold, just an organization helper to keep cables from dangling all over the place.
