Summary

This is an apple style cable tie. It replicates when you buy an apple product and the cable comes spooled up in the box with a piece of cardboard holding it together.

I would probably recommend scaling it up or at least lengthening the arms. The hole in it is designed for USB-C

This is low filament and takes my printer 5 mins to print one.

USAGE:

  • put it on the inside of a circle of cable
  • wrap the outside flaps outwards around the cable
  • middle flap folds inwards into itself creating a little pocket for a USB-c head to slide into.

Note: it's not the easiest thing to use and I might not use it myself going forwards but at least it might save someone else the time making the same thing one day.

if your printer doesn't do the holes well then try changing HOLES HORIZONTAL EXPANSION option in cura to 0.15 or something. That helped mine print holes more accurately.
