Customized Desk Cable Holder

Customized version of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1776145 Cable holder was created with Customizer: https://www.thingiverse.com/apps/customizer/run?thing_id=1776145 My desk is only 1.5cm thick, and the original cable holder was simple to customize for it, but I found it was still a bit too loose, even with only 1mm added to the gap. I think this was originally designed to fit at the back of a desk with the rear edge of the holder snug against the wall, and as-is it would be perfect for that. For my needs I wanted this mounted to the side of my portable desk-on-wheels where everything plugs into the side of my laptop, but since my desk is mobile I needed a more snug fit. To solve this I drew up a quick wedge in Fusion 360, which slides between the underside of the desk and the bottom of the holder, creating a very snug hold onto my desk. I can tug at the cables as I need to and this thing goes nowhere. I added a lip to the wedge as a handle so it could easily be removed if I ever need to add or remove a cable.
