3mm Cord Clips and Markers - My USB cord or cable organization solution when using multiple cords

thingiverse

This is a little cable identification and organization system I came up with for when I have multiple similar small USB cables in use in one project. For example, my Octopi setup where I have a power cable running from a buck converter on my printer's power supply, and a then another one running back from the Pi to the printer. Another example is my Pi screen setup - where I use a separate power supply for the screen and the Pi because I'm too cheap to buy a legit power supply and I don't like the GPIO jumpers. This system consists of a small clip shaped like the number 3 - for securing two separate cords into a single cord, I do one clip about every 8 inches (20cm) - and a C shaped cord marker for keeping track of which cable is which. - I put one color coded clip at each end of each cable. See pics if this doesn't make sense. You may need to experiment with scaling them up a few percent to get fitment to your liking. I scale the clip up to 102% for a good strong, but slide-able fit. On my Ender 3 these clips each take about 4 minutes to print at a .2mm layer height.
