Cord Manager

This cord manager is meant for shorter, thinner cords, like those of headphones or lightning cables. This is a somewhat compact design that hides the cord while recommended to be carried in a bag, since it is not comfortable holding in pocket.

After many sample prototypes for this design, I have finally come to the conclusion of using a cylinder, divided into two parts: one a hollow cylinder for the cable to be put in, and the other a cap to keep it closed. Past designs may have involved pegs to hold it together which were not successful, rather than just one big extrusion from the cylinder. This larger extrusion makes it easier to design, print, and use. I later decided to change the piece that now is the cap from an identical second half, but with an indent instead of an extrusion, to the cap it is now. I did this because it saves filament, and I didn’t wrap the sides of the cap all the way around because I found that I liked the aesthetic appeal more than if I did.
