Adjustable Cable Clips
Status: Prototype; digitally validated but not cycle- or adhesive-tested.
The editable generator is 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.

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.
