Cable wraper for laptop bag (or desk drawer)

My laptop bag is a mess with a dozen different USB, Lightning, iPhone, etc. cables. None of the other cable wrappers I found were quite right. This is about my 6th iteration of the design, and it seems to work quite well without putting undue stress on the wires. The idea is that you can wrap a cable up fully, and selectively unwrap a few coils to get various cable lengths easily. Multiple wrappers also snap together, and can be twisted to form closed pentagonal/hexagonal assemblies (see photos). Note, there is a sister project (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:813482) with dongle holders that use the same snap together system. This should print very easily without support. As a consequence, when snapping them together there is ~1mm offset, but seems fine to me. If the loops at the ends are too tight for a particular cable, I suggest just trimming the end of the loop a bit. I think this should scale pretty well for larger wires, but haven't tried it. I will post modified versions later if scaling doesn't work well. Instructions Should work well without support in any plastic. Might consider starting with 2 and doing a test-fit to make sure your print tolerances are right for the snap-together aspect to work well. On my Taz, I can easily print 10 at a go.
