CABLE DOCK

Cable Dock clamps to the edge of a desk and holds a charging cable at one height. The yellow latch is the opening. We did not want a long slot for ten cables. One cable, one place.

A clip that is too loose still lets the cable slide. A clip that is too tight is annoying every time you unplug. Desk edges are not all the same thickness.

1. 01

   Measure a few common desktop thicknesses and give the jaw two settings.

2. 02

   Close the cable channel with its own yellow latch, so changing a cable does not mean taking the clamp off.

3. 03

   Add a shallow rib inside so the cable does not twist itself out.

The first jaw was fine in PETG and cracked in PLA. This file thickens the root, and the notes say: if the desk is especially thick, print PETG.

Black holds the desk. Yellow opens. Two parts, no screws.

1. 01

   Clamp the body on the desk edge and check that it does not rock.

2. 02

   Set the cable in and press on the yellow latch.

3. 03

   The latch should come off by hand. If it does not, sand the root of the latch lightly.
