Cable Tag

Cable Tag!

*** Updated ***
V1.1 - Added vertical alignment option so the CableTag can be set to baseline or vertical centre.

This thing allows you to add your name, or anything to a USB cable. Tag your cables so everyone knows who's they are and what they are for.

You can add up to 10 characters to each model, it is customisable for cable size and font.

To use please head to the customiser, or open in OpenSCAD. Once there you can pick your desired Cable Tag text, the font, font size, thickness of the finished Cable Tag and diameter of the cable to fit to. Just enter your text, use the character spacing sliders to layout the tag. you can adjust the castellation of the letters too.

If you can't get the Cable Tag on to your cable you can widen the slot with a file, or perhaps warm the model up and push it over. You can also increase the slot ratio on the thing and reprint. I've had good results with 0.8-0.85 ratio.

If the cable run is too tight you can increase the diameter by 0.5mm to help. This will also increase the bottom slot as they are related.

I'd really appreciate some feedback and suggestions for improvements.
