About this design

The Cable Dock 5 is a desk cable holder you print yourself. It keeps charging cables and leads in place, so they no longer slide off the back of your desk when you unplug a device.

The holder has five slots, 23 mm apart, each for a different cable thickness: 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 mm. A cable clicks in behind a retaining lip. The opening is narrower than the cable, so it stays put until you pull it out on purpose.

  • Size: 130 × 40 × 30 mm
  • 5 slots for 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 mm cables
  • Recesses for 4 × 10 mm anti-slip bumpers (1 mm deep)
  • Prints without supports, digitally checked for printability

Print tips: 0.2 mm layers, 4 walls and 40% infill or more. Higher infill makes the dock heavier and steadier on your desk. The bumper recess ceilings are short 10.6 mm bridges. PETG gives a slightly more forgiving retaining lip than PLA.

Stick four self-adhesive anti-slip bumpers into the recesses so the dock does not slide when you pull a cable free. You get one STL and one 3MF.

Designer's tip

Higher infill (40% or more) makes the dock heavier and more stable. Stick 4 self-adhesive 10 mm anti-slip bumpers into the recesses (1 mm deep). The recess ceilings are short 10.6 mm bridges. PETG gives a slightly more forgiving retaining lip.

Frequently asked questions

Which cables fit?

Cables 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 mm thick, one per slot. Measure your cable with calipers or a ruler and pick the closest slot.

Why does the holder move when I pull a cable?

Print it with 40% infill or more and add 10 mm anti-slip bumpers in the four recesses. That makes it heavier and less likely to slide.

PLA or PETG for a cable holder?

Both work. PETG gives a slightly more flexible retaining lip, so cables click in and out more easily.
