Elongated cable tie pad
prusaprinters
<h4>Use case</h4><p>Glue-on pads for cable ties are not a new invention. But sometimes there is very little width available on the intended surface. Along the cable there typically is enough space (otherwise the cable could not run there). So I came up with the idea to design these pads that are elongated along the cable.</p><h4>Installation</h4><p>If the available space is really small, and hard to reach with your fingers (like on the backside of a motorbike fairing or in some tight corners of a car) I propose to zip-tie the cable to the pad first. Put some super glue gel to the backside of the pad and press it on. Ideally clean up the mounting surface before.</p><p>Please note that PETG is not trivial to glue, due to its low surface energy. While there are a number of super glue brands that do work quite well, the safest is to simply use PLA for these parts. That will typically result in a very strong hold after a few seconds.</p><p>Of course you can also use double sided tape to glue on these pads, which is less permanent, if you may need to remove them at some point in time.</p><h4>Printing</h4><p>These parts are basically trivial to print. Just print them in the uploaded orientation with 100% infill and at least 2 perimeters (more is no harm). I propose to print at least 2 at the same time, to give the previous printing layer a moment to cool down.</p><p> </p><h5> Please like it if you like it, that makes my day!</h5><p> </p><p> </p>
