Recently I was installing some Ethernet cable in a basementceiling, so I made these cable clips to help keep the associated wiring organized.  They are primarily designed to screw onto a wood joist or similar.

Assembly and Use

Screw the clip onto a wood surface using a #6 (3.5mm) wood or sheet metal pan head screw.

The wires or cables to be organized can simply be fed through the clip loop, or the loop can be un-clipped to add wires/cables from the side. I like to un-clip the loop before sticking on the clips, and then simply push to click into place once all the wires/cables have been added.

To un-clip the loop, simply pull apart with a twisting motion; I suggest practicing with an un-stuck clip before using.

Print Instructions

Print in PLA or PETG using the 3mf files provided, otherwise :

• 0.2mm layer height
• 4 perimeters
• 0% infill

Note that there are two STL file versions provided. The preferred version (V4Dbrim) has a built in brim to enhance bed adhesion when printing; the brim is easily removed after printing. I have included a “plain” version V4D for those who prefer a non-brim version.
