A cable/wire tie, that when paired with a rubber band, bundles together cables or wires. The flared ends keep the rubber band from slipping off the bar.For filament (FDM) printers it's best to print laying down for structural rigidity. Included is a flat side model that can be printed directly on the build plate. The round model, if printed laying down, will likely need to be raised off the build plate and have supports added. Infill should also be fairly high.For resin printers there is a full round model included that should work, providing proper strength resin is used. When printing on resin printers make sure to add holes to allow surplus resin to escape if the infill is not 100%. For added strength, and to prevent snapping the model in half under stress, print at a horizontal angle. While it may be possible to print on end, the strength of the model will greatly depend on the resin.To use add a rubber band around the center, gather the cable/wire, wrap the rubber band around the bundle and loop the rubber band around the bar.The model can be scaled up or down as needed, and rubber band sized as needed.
