Telescoping Straight Cable Guide Conduit

thingiverse

This is an extendable straight rigid cable guide designed for easy installation and extension. Its unique design allows users to adjust the guide length after installation, making it a valuable asset for various applications. Each guide set consists of two distinct models: Inner and Sleeve. The Inner model effortlessly slides into the Sleeve, ensuring a seamless fit. Three sizes of guide sets are provided: 4mm inside diameter, 6mm inside diameter, and 8mm inside diameter. The 4mm inside diameter is specifically designed to hold a 16-gauge wire pair, while the measurement applies only to the Inner model. To complete the guide set, print the corresponding Sleeve that matches the chosen Inner. As supplied, each model measures 18 cm in length, offering a guide set that can expand from 18cm to <36cm. Users can modify the length by scaling it in the X direction using a slicer. To achieve really long lengths, users can stack multiple inner-sleeve-inner-sleeve combinations. This feature allows for unprecedented flexibility and adaptability. For optimal cable capture, users are advised to rotate the Inner model versus the Sleeve. The accompanying photos demonstrate this feature with the 4mm guide set.
