Cable Management Tray for Uplift 900 Adjustable Desk Legs - with STEP file

prusaprinters

<p>This is a cable management tray designed for an uplift desk. It is designed to mount on the cross bars between the legs which support the desktop (the long way).</p> <p>My desk uses a Uplift 900 adjustable base, which has a channel created by the desk supports, however it is not very useful for cable management since there is no base. This thing tries to turn that channel into a cable management tray. There are 2 versions of this model, one is has a solid base and the other has holes which go through the model to allow for more options if cables need to be weaved into the tray. I originally intended to use double sided tape to hold the tray to the sides of the frame, but the final design uses six 12x3mm magnets per side, and one of the set screws to hold it at one end (this is where the slot is located in the model). The smaller model which does not have a screw, can hold eight 12x3mm magnets, however I mounted mine using only four per side. The model also has some cable guides, and zip tie or Velcro wrap points, intended to help wrangle the cables that need to be supported. I have not tidied up the cables since I plan to replace the desktop in the near future.</p> <p>I have printed and tested this model and it fits well. This will need to print with supports. The models are not oriented for printing. STEP file is included for easy remixing. The holes for the 12x3 magnets are very tight, but I was able to press them in with the end of a plastic torpedo level (what I had close). I used a drop of superglue as well but pretty sure they could just be pressed in. The holes are designed to be 12.2mm in diameter.</p> <p>These were designed for the Uplift 900 Desk legs, but they may fit others as well. Below are the approximate dimensions of the inner part of the covers (which would be the approx size of a channel they can cover). It would also be possible to scale them to fit other channels but the depth will also change if you do that, and the magnets will no longer fit properly.</p> <ul> <li>The larger covers are between 135mm and 139mm (there is a step on these parts which makes them wider at the ends) and approx 18.4mm deep.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><p>The smaller cover is 137 wide and the channel is 26.5mm deep. If you make one please post it, if you have questions or comments please let me know.</p> <p>STEP file is included for easy remixing.</p> </li> </ul> Category: Office
