Headphone cord shortener

thingiverse

I wanted to create a device that would neatly shorten headphone cords, eliminating the problem of excessive cord length causing tangles and messes. I prefer having just the right amount of cord to work with, rather than dealing with a tangled mess. Also, as someone who appreciates the ability to adjust parameters on demand, I designed this in OpenSCAD so that I could easily tweak it whenever needed. The same design can be adapted for shortening various types of cords, including USB cables and wall warts - all it takes is adjusting the size of the "eyes" at the end.
