<p>I wanted a cable clip that can fit in small spaces and that can be as small or as big as I need for a specific use case. Enter the <i>Compact Cable Clip (Parametric) ™</i> !</p><h3>Features</h3><ul><li>Tweak parameters in Fusion 360 to get the exact clip size you need.</li><li>Optional screw hole that screws through the clip itself to reduce the clip's footprint.</li><li>Due to the screw being in the center, the clip won't deform over time under the cable's weight like clips with the screw on a single side tab might do.</li></ul><h3>Customization Instructions</h3><p>Change the following parameters in Fusion 360 to alter the clip to your specifications:</p><ul><li><code>internal_height</code> (blue)</li><li><code>internal_width</code> (red)</li><li><code>depth</code> (green)</li><li><code>screw_hole_diameter</code> (top hole) to fit the head of the screw you want to use</li><li><code>screw_threads_diameter</code> (bottom hole) to fit the threads of the screw you want to use</li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/205238/rich_content/73296ac0-253f-450a-9ab9-fe5beb99dcc0/artboard.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22c8cbf6b9-6caa-44dd-8c1b-f7ec9ecf5d4f%22%2C%22w%22%3A669%2C%22h%22%3A529%7D"></figure><p>In addition, you can suppress the last 3 features to remove the screw hole, if you want to stick the clips to a surface using double-sided tape.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/205238/rich_content/c35f119e-e5a1-4070-9d3f-bd932f005dd6/screen-shot-2022-05-14-at-25808-pm.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22332ee9c5-316a-402c-808a-bc37429315f6%22%2C%22w%22%3A634%2C%22h%22%3A652%7D"></figure><h3>Printing Instructions</h3><ul><li>Print them sideways.</li><li>Printing with a lower layer height might help make the holes cleaner, but it's probably not necessary.</li><li>Use PETG if you want the clips to be more flexible. PLA is fine in most cases, too.</li></ul>
