Spring cleaning time!

I don't know about you, but some days my desk is just an absolute disaster... Here's a simple pocket sized solution I came up with to tidy up my desk and keep some commonly used items at arms reach.

Quick overview of the design features:

  • The body of the part has a slot so it will flex to accommodate a wider range of USB overmold styles.
  • The hook part is angled slightly inward to account a few degrees of droop/sag. This was done to account for USB plugs that may be a little loose.
  • The hook section is also split in the middle so it can be used to keep a cable tidy, store an SD card, or hang something like a key ring.

Also available for sale on my website here if you don't have your own printer yet: https://www.makerneer.com/product-page/usb-hanger-hook

Best when printed in TPU or similar flexible filament. ABS/PLA will work, they just won't be as easy to slide onto the plug. I liked 100% infill for this since it made the hook part more rigid, but you can get away with less.

 

If you're curious, this is the tape measure I'm hanging on it. It's surprisingly handy, way better than the flimsy 3' version you typically see for keychains -  https://amzn.to/3vBVC2I (affiliate link) and here's the metric version if that's more your flavor 😉 https://amzn.to/3U1rMyF (affiliate link)
