# Adjustable Cable Clips
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Status:** Prototype; digitally validated but not cycle- or adhesive-tested.
|
|
|
|
The editable generator is [cable-clips.scad](cable-clips.scad). FDM printing; PETG is preferred where the retaining lips flex repeatedly.
|
|
|
|
## Defaults and important controls
|
|
|
|
35 mm long clip for a nominal 6 mm cable with a 2.4 mm adhesive base.
|
|
|
|
**Fit and tolerance:** Measure the cable and use cable_clearance rather than forcing an oversized cable.
|
|
|
|
Open the SCAD file in OpenSCAD and use **Window → Customizer** to change the documented parameters. Dimensions are millimetres.
|
|
|
|
## OpenSCAD and export
|
|
|
|
This generator is maintained and validated with a recent OpenSCAD Nightly build.
|
|
|
|
1. Open the SCAD file and select parameters in Customizer.
|
|
2. Press **F6** for a full render.
|
|
3. Use **File → Export → Export as STL** for printable 3D output.
|
|
4. Slice with the actual printer, nozzle, material, and layer profile.
|
|

## Printing and fabrication
|
|
|
|
Print with the flat adhesive base on the build plate.
|
|
|
|
The included STL files passed digital mesh and slicer checks. Digital validation does not establish physical fit, strength, fatigue life, or material suitability.
|
|
|
|
## Known limitations
|
|
|
|
- Adhesive performance depends on the tape, plastic, and mounting surface.
|
|
- Do not use for hazardous or load-bearing wiring.
