I was constantly picking up cables from the floor next to my desk. I tried one of those spiral-type cable holders, but they didn't work for me (not taking a jab at them... just didn't work in my situation). So I made this.
This is a cable holder that uses magnets to hold cables in place. An angled piece is printed with "fingers" like a comb. This part is what gets mounted to the desk. It has magnets embedded in the bottom of it. Once the cables are in place, a top plate with identical "fingers" comes from the other side to cover the slots of the angled piece. A set of magnets in the top plate attract to the magnets in the bottom angled piece. This holds the cables in place.
My design criteria:
-three slots for a 4mm cable
-two slots for a 5.5mm cable
-I used the Harbor Freight rare earth magnets (come in a tube with, like, 10 of them). The hole accepts up to 2mm thick, 9mm diameter magnets.
-I set up the combs such that the magnets cannot be physically touching each
