Charging Cable Organizer

I see many frayed cables, mostly near the USB Type-A connector. Why? I see people's habits twisting their charging cables directly against the adapters and breaking those points frequently. At home, I remind everyone to twist a smooth curve, but they still make the same mistake sometimes. Then I came up with this solution: 1. Unplug the cable from the adapter. 2. Twist the cable around three or four fingers. 3. Squeeze the twisted cable in the middle. 4. Insert "the oval". 5. Plug the adapter back into its place. There are two versions, one with and one without a "hook". The hook in the middle was originally designed to prevent cable drops, but I've found that most original cables stay in the oval just fine without it. Give this a try and let me know if you have any suggestions for an even better version. If your plug is too big to fit back into its place, simply upsize by 1% on your slicer app's x and y axes - that should do the trick. I also removed two small pieces from the bottom front to prevent support at those two columns when using "support touching build plate only" in Cura slicer.
