Summary

This is a flex / TPU cable management solution for appliances. I created this from scratch in blender, after finding the existing PLA options were not what I was after.

The hardest part to appliance management, is affixing the printed object to your appliance securely. I tried many forms of double sided tape and none of them would last. Giving up on tape, I moved to epoxy, which required sanding of both the 3d printed shape and your appliance, a bit of a commitment, but it has held up well on the kitchen aid.

I am going to add these to our toaster, crockpot, insta-pot now that the kitchen aid has finally stood the test of a few weeks usage without failure.

The hardest part of this solution is properly affixing them to your appliance. Our kitchen aid is nearly 20 years old so I was pretty cavalier in my approach, but on newer appliances I would be careful in selection of your mounting point, in case it does not work out on your first go.

Epoxy is the trick, sanding and prep is key, good luck!
