WiRetract is a revolutionary cable storage accessory, enabling the user to properly store loose wires, reducing cable clutter. The device will assist in preventing the unnecessary tangling of wires, whilst preserving their structural integrity. The design is simple and can be scaled to suit a broad size range of cables.

This operates by placing the wire into the main groove, closing the lid to lock it in place before winding the wire into the storage case from both ends.

This design is my own, I would recommend printing it from PLA but would say most printers and materials could construct this device. Feel free to play around with various scaling effects for larger and smaller wires. Currently, it has been optimised for a 4 mm laptop / iPhone / USB charger cable.

In the above images you'll see two designs, the STL files are for the latest version. Modifications were made to reduce jamming
