About this design

The Desk Cable Chain bundles the cables from your desk to the floor. Loose hexagonal links snap together; cables press in from the side through a slot. The chain bends about 25 degrees per link, so it can curve from the desktop down to the floor.

  • Link 32 mm across the flats, 27.6 mm inside
  • 11 mm cable slot, about 38 mm per link
  • 19 links for a desk 72 to 76 cm high
  • Top and bottom mount with a 76 × 40 mm plate
  • Prints without supports, digitally checked for printability

Print tips: print everything upright. 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls and 30% infill. PETG snaps together more smoothly than PLA. Fix the mounts with 4 mm countersunk screws (not included).

You get three STL files and one 3MF.

Designer's tip

Print everything upright, as supplied: 19 links for a desk 72 to 76 cm high (about 38 mm per link), 1 top mount and 1 bottom mount. Click the links together by pushing the tabs of one link into the bottom of the next until the pins drop into the holes; keep the slots in line. PETG clicks in more smoothly and is less likely to snap than PLA. Screws (4 mm, countersunk) are not included.

Frequently asked questions

How many links do I need?

About 38 mm per link. For a desk 72 to 76 cm high, 19 links are enough. Print more for a taller desk.

How many cables fit?

The inside is 27.6 mm across the flats. That fits a few power cables and some thin cables.

Is it a print-in-place chain?

No. You print loose links and snap them together yourself. That way you can still change the length later.
