Plastic Cable Clips / Cable Tidy

Hi blanthegenius,

nice little accessories to keep the Cable mess away!

Did you cut piece by piece (like the video shows) or did you arranged i.e. 20+ on a drawing to cut them in one run?

Piece by piece,
I hadn't tried plastic before today. Turned out pretty good.

and cheers

I tend to do a row at a time with most of my projects and try to reduce the part from lifting up by having the clamps as close as possible.

Hello blanthegenius
Very beautiful and useful part.
Would you share this part with us?

Thanks and greetings

Rainer

Would you share this part with us?

Yes, But
PLEASE NOTE: I have extended the legs on the larger diameter slightly so that it grips better and Thanks.

Looks great! Much tidier than cable tie!

clamping is very important. You would not have got the same quality of finish if not for the close clamping.

Spray glue/adhesive help - ideally a vacuum table can also do the trick.

Hi Rory,

Spray glue/adhesive help ...

Could you recommend a Brand and give us a tip how do clean up afterwards the Workpiece and SC table?

3M photmount spray is good - we will open up a new topic referring to work holding.

If you use a piece of ply/MDF as your base layer - glue this to the SC table. Then glue your work-piece to the sacrificial layer.

if you would like to remove it - simply use some force and it will release form SV table - then use a degreased to remove the adhesive. This works well - we do it all the time.

... we will open up a new topic referring to work holding.

Nice idea - thanks for doing that! 🙂

Now for the German guys .... 😉

Rory empfiehlt Sprühkleber (3M Photomount) zum zusätzlichen arretieren / Befestigen / Niederhalten der Werkstücke (Ich persönlich denke das Sprühkleber einige Vorteile gegenüber Doppelseitigen Klebeband hat).
Reinigen kann man es dann nachher mit Haushalts Reiniger welche auch entfetten oder, wie das 3M Datenblatt aussagt, mit organischen Lösemitteln (Aceton, MEK).

3M™ Sprühkleber

Just a quick note.

If anybody chooses to download and make the part, please can you take pictures and post them.

Thanks.

Double sided tape is the devil. It doesn't come off. Be careful degreasing timber with solvent. This doesn't work.

Only degrease the bed. Its best to sand / scrape the timber layer. If your good you can get just enough spray to hold - but not too much such that it leaves big chunks of glue.

Sure,but right now I'm not actually producing those parts - I'm just playing around to optimize a A4 Sheet with 128 cable clips. 😉
