cable labels

thingiverse

I created these labels for network cables, which can be quickly clipped on. They are customizable for text that runs parallel or perpendicular to the cable. I aimed to make them as flexible as possible regarding size and text alignment, so both can be customized separately. However, this means the body won't automatically resize in response to the text size or vice versa. I'm grateful to wstein for his customizable multiline tag and keychain, which provided me with a list of fonts to use: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:739573 I discovered that a 1mm thickness works well for the main body and hooks, but it should also work slightly thicker. Here are my print settings: Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Resolution: 0.1mm Infill: Too flat to have any infill Notes: I printed in PLA with no issues, but ABS would likely be a better choice. I designed this using OpenSCAD, although I'm still learning the software.
