Cableholder

thingiverse

I was struggling to find a solution that would keep the power cable secure on my boat's deck, preventing it from rolling away when lifted. After some research, I determined what features this double-hook design needed to possess and came up with a solution. It sits snugly locked onto a 9.5mm cable, securely gripping a 5.5mm PVC-clad wire of the sea fence. This way, the hooks remain in place even when hauling it in for sailing. Create multiple units based on your needs. I've included the basic dxf file to enable individual variations and modifications. Ensure that the distance between the two bulges at the bottom is slightly narrower than the outer diameter of your cable. Using Fusion360, I lofted the contour to about 8mm and rounded off the edges for a smooth finish. Printed in PETG, this design is remarkably stable even under intense UV light exposure. The printing settings were as follows: 0.4mm nozzle, Alfawise U30 printer, Simplify3D software, 25% honeycomb filling, three perimeters, five top and bottom layers, 0.8mm rounding radius, no support required, and a temperature of 250°C for the nozzle with an 80° bed.
