1RU Rack Unit Cable Management Panel

thingiverse

This is a cable management solution for rack unit installation. There are real metal products that you can buy but I want to come up with a solution using 3D printed material. This is a 2-piece part, a plate, and the hook. The hook can be inserted into the plate with the buckle mating part. Designed this with printability in mind, so the part can be printed laid down into the print bed. The plate is put together with plastic welding using a soldering station (or any soldering gun). For now, this is my best idea if anybody wants to give some suggestions leave them in the comment. Printed the plate using ABS and warped a little. I highly suggest to print the plate with PLA or anything more rigid than ABS. For the hook, I printed it with ABS, and it is perfect because it can bend a little to insert it into the slot in the plate. I highly encourage you to remix this with your own version of hooks, because I see there are a lot of sizes or shapes that I can't accommodate here. I will leave the sketch of the hook here, don't forget to add some fillet. UPDATE 1.01 Added longer hooks named HookC and HookD.
