**Introduction**
When I started brainstorming for this project, I wanted to challenge myself by having the design to meet the following criteria:
- The print had to have a uniform, maximum height with a thin profile (3-5 mm high at most)
- It had to not look like it came from a flat pack/die-cast kit format when assembled
- It had to have a functional mechanism and serve a practical purpose
With this criteria, I landed on designing a charging cable spool container. I knew I wanted it to have a cylindrical profile but due to the uniform height constraint, I had to think outside the box (or tube, as it were). After some quick research, I learned about the Kerf-Cut technique for bending wood in woodworking; I quickly adapted this concept to FDM printing by adopting design principles for living hinges. The result is a unique cylindrical profile that provides a textured surface for improved grip and also orienting the layer lines of the wall components to be orthogonal to the direction of
