KLAMMA - Locking Cable Clip

The red clip on the right hand side of the second picture is the new version of this model: KLIPPT - Locking Cable Clip. It comes with a separate base plate to allow screw mounting, as well as adhesive mounting options. But the newer iteration has less surface area for adhesive installation. If you are sure that you'll mount the clips using 3M VHB or similar, KLAMMA is still your best option! I recently had to do a bit of cable management and was in need for some simple cable fixtures. The existing models didn't fully satisfy my list of requirements. They are either non-locking C-Style designs, require additional hardware for the joint or are only available as screw on versions. Most of them don't come with *.step or *.f3d files to accommodate for custom dimensions. My approach to this challenge is mainly inspired by these cable clips on Amazon.Over far too many iterations my (for now) final design incorporates the following features: Sturdy structureAn embossed middle section stiffens up the lever part and makes the thinner hinge section the definite bending point. Locking designIn comparison to most other designs this one has a compliant latching lug. Even heavier cables won't force the clip open even with a wall width of only 1.6 mm Easy and fast to printA consistent perimeter thickness over the prints z-span assures a smooth overall finish. All layers consist of long print path and only the ribbed version sacrifices a bit of simplicity over visual aesthetics. CustomizableFind the attached Fusion 360 file with neatly organized User Parameters to customize e.g. width and length.  VariationsThe ribbed versions are meant to ease a cable routing process by holding back already placed cables. They are a bit more fiddly when fully loaded. Print InstructionsThe compliant hinge will work best with PETG, but ABS/ASA or even PLA will work as well but may break if open/close cycled too often.This model is optimized to be printed with a 0.4 mm nozzle using the Arachne slicing Engine. Additionally Required HardwareYou'll need something to fix these clips to a surface. I like Tesa Power Strips because they don't leave any residue upon removal; But other double sided foam tapes will work as well I guess (e.g. 3M VHB Tapes). Related ModelsParametric Cable Grommet by BlizzardFÄSTA - Parametric Mounting Bracket Similar SolutionsCable Organizer / Routing Hook - Various Sizes by Lucky ResistorLocking cable mounts by MTZD
