Ferrite bead anti pull out cone

thingiverse

A cone to put on a cable, close to a ferrite bead. This is to keep the bead from catching on a table edge and pulling out the cable with it. I use it on a scanner that sits on the back edge of my desk most of the time. When i want to use it, i pull it to the front edge. Without this thing, i constantly pulled out the cable and hand to dive under the desk to retrieve it. The connecting mechanism doesn’t really work, and i had to fix the two halves with sticky tape. The cone does it job, so i won’t work out a perfect vitamin free solution.
